The touchy subject of airplane noise

[catling42.livejournal.com]

Has anyone else noticed the steep jump in airplane noise recently? I was woken at 6:30am by low flying planes today and I feel like its the last straw after weeks of not getting a full night due to the air traffic noise. Is there anything we can do? Anyone have any great tricks to sleep through it? I'm in Ball Square, if that matters.

Have you tried looking for a new apartment/house in the surrounding areas? I've lived here for over 35 years, grew up here, family grew up here and I've never known anyone to be woken up by the planes. Perhaps living so close to the airport isn't a good fit for you. There a LOT of wonderful neighboring towns that still allow you to live close to everything but just might suit your needs better. Just a thought. That's what I would do.

As others have explained, the navigation system changed in 2013, and the new system means a few people get a lot more noise.

If you exclude all areas that are as close to the airport as Davis Square, there isn't much of the city left.
