Airplane noise Friday

[righteousness-1.livejournal.com]

Someone posted a comment that aircraft noise had increased over Davis recently. Today, I was sick in bed and I thought I was going to go insane. An aircraft flew over my house every minute, no kidding, all day long from 5am this morning.

I'd really appreciate it if fellow Davis Square readers who dislike noise especially from aircraft could make a complaint to Logan. Please don't flame the thread if you think airplanes are cute or you simply love noise.

Unless we speak out, even a little, no one will give a damn. I spoke to the airport people and they said they will act and possibly re-route or stagger flight paths but only if they get complaints.
Apparently, ever since a new runway went in, they have received an increase in complaints.

Is it especially loud closer to Davis or something? Because I've heard a couple of planes as well and it's honestly not that bad. And I really have to object with your comment above about moving Logan somewhere else - part of the great thing about Logan is that I don't have to take a cab to get there half the time - I can just hop down to South Station and take the Silver Line to the airport. I've never been someplace where that's been possible, except possibly NYC.

Absolute peace and quiet should not be the expectation if you're going to choose to live in a city. I'd rather hear the train pass by or a plane fly overhead once in a while than hear shootings or loud fights from my neighbors. If I have any noise to complain about, it's my neighbor revving his motorcycle for 5 minutes at a time.
