The old noise question.Living at a given distance from an airport in any time up to the Seventies and latest the Eighties the noise was greater than today.One-Elevens,Tridents and older Boeings among other proper aeroplanes that used to rip the sky appart with that fantastic 'crackle'.
Living 10 miles from a certain 'Midlands' Airfield in the Seventies,all sorts of noises could be heard.Jets AND Turboprops taking off;the local ps RB211 Turbine Electricity Generator;the local race track (also 10 miles away);local Stock Car Racing etc.It's all down to the wind direction and also the density/humidity of the air.
I have absolutely no sympathy with complainers living near Airports.The two oldest ones are the best: 1 Aircraft are getting bloody quieter as we speak (it's perceptible and LAW); 2 Why the fck did you move there in the first place?(Obviously because you just like complaining a lot).
Seem to have strayed from the point a little,however,all NIMBYs note : I have a very large amplifier connected to which is a cassette machine containing a tape of a VC-10 on full power static engine runs,and it's coming your way.
