Increased airplane traffic?

Has anyone else noticed an increase in airplane traffic over Davis Square over the last 6 months?  We were just out on our deck having dinner (Day St and Orchard St) and it seemed like there was an airplane passing overhead (literally) every 2-3 minutes (no joke).  Worse, they made so much noise that it was constantly interrupting us.  I know the airplanes have to fly somewhere but it seems like Davis Square has become one of the major flight paths and I don't remember this being a problem last year.  Who should I complain to?

I've noticed it, too, but I think it's more due to the wind direction than anything else. The new runway that opened at Logan is too small to handle the large aircraft that are flying overhead. I happen to fly a lot out of Logan for business and I've only flown over Davis Square once. It's NOT very common, in the grand scheme of things. I think that it's just been "weird weather patterns" that have brought them over here more often. I haven't seen a change in the published departure procedures out of Logan so I don't think that's it. (and yes, I'm a pilot myself so I pay attention to those kind of things).
