FWIW...

I heard nothing and woke to nothing. I used to live under the flight path of an air force base. I used to live under the flight path of O'Hare airport. To me, it wouldn't be a place I live without plane noise. I know that's not the case for everyone.

I am completely and utterly turned off by all discussions of plane noise, the increase thereof, the complaints thereabout, the namecalling inspired by the complaints thereabout, the reductive solutions offered to complaints thereabout ("don't like it? move"), and the debate over the relative efficacies of various civic and grassroots responses thereto.

I can't believe this board gets so tied up about the plane noise. It really floors me. But again, I've never not lived beneath a flight path, so plane noise to me is like the sweet chirps of crickets, the soft hum of I-35 in the distance, or the continual screams and WHAMS of my mentally ill upstairs neighbour: part of the soundtrack.
