Years ago, there was a noise complaint about low flying JPs around Malham Tarn in a letter published in the Yorkshire Post. The next day, the local council published a reply saying they regarded the aircraft as a tourist attraction and asking everyone to ignore the complaint from someone who had just moved into the area!

A woman who moved into a house near the SW corner of the Dartmoor ranges, admittedly a low level choke point, complained endlessly. Her complaints could not be reconciled with know movements so she was asked to keep a log. Unknown to her, the RAF police also sat there for a week and recorded all movements. Every aircraft she saw, she multiplied the number by 10.
