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.

Re: it's both the "too often" and the "too low" combining that makes folks complain...

One place you definitely don't ever want to move to is South Boston, especially the eastern part. I once took a guided tour of Castle Island, and the tour guide had to stop speaking every few minutes because of a constant stream of low-flying planes. They ruined what would otherwise be a very nice beach and park.

Yeah, even if they weren't also much more difficult to commute to Harvard Square from, and even if my community ties weren't in Somerville, I would never move closer to the airport if I could help it. I thought Davis was safe but lately, not sure. Not gonna be leaving Davis or anything, but I do sympathize with the folks who are experiencing this new and thought they'd chosen a home that wasn't going to be bombarded.

I figure that no one area should bear the brunt - even when the wind's one way, there ought to be a couple different paths that can be taken to spare the frequency of flyovers over any one specific spot.
