I live near an airport, close enough so that things sometimes vibrate when a heavy passes over during the night.

I've never once considered complaining about it - in fact I don't even notice it anymore after living here so long. The airport was here long before me, so why should I have any right to tell them what to do? If you buy a house near an airport then you get aircraft noise, simple as that. People should only complain if they have actually changed something like noise abatement procedures making it worse for residents.

Besides, why would you want to get rid of it anyway... I'd rather hear planes flying overhead then no sound at all

ps. This location isn't cheap either, it's more expensive then areas which are away from the airport
