Loud noises!

Airplane noise is up 3X in Davis area this year. This is confirmed by Somerville Transportation Equity Partnership (STEP) and our mayor. You may or may not have read the articles in the news. Both STEP and our mayor have encouraged people who are annoyed by the noise, to call this number and complain:

(617) 561-3333

Here is some more info:

The more people that call and complain the better chance we have in getting a reduction in overhead flights (so we're told).

If you don't care about the increase, or don't care about planes flying by every 40 seconds, please read all of the witty responses below instead.

the creepiest part of sep 12 "when it happened" was that there was NO air traffic at all, i was on the beach, and it was QUIET. just waves.

I lived at my parents' house down in Foxboro at the time, where air traffic passes right overhead but still at a high altitude. I remember several hours after it happened hearing the insane roar of a military jet very close by, only so much shit was up in the air and Shanksville had just been reported that I had no fucking idea it was a military jet. That was probably the most abject, fear-laden moment I've ever had in my life. I'm quite surprised no one had a fucking heart attack. Our entire neighborhood was out on their lawns.

And then yeah, the quiet. So weird.

I was called a troll for mentioning this in the last post about air traffic noise. We were instructed not to reply if we think planes are cute and fuzzy.

That's the solution!

Fuzzy airplanes! It'd work like owl feathers! I should call Boeing about this.
