Would you believe, that I've heard of noise complaints over GLIDER planes!!!
the parachut on the winch whistles too loud when it's falling
the whining of the speed brakes disturb
once there was a complaint about a glider circling in one spot... the complainer said the glider pilot was probably only trying to see this guys wife, who was sunning in the garden!

those are real complaints! not made up! the local authorities once get written complaints against all aircraft that took off a particular airfield between 8 a.m. and 5. p.m. luckily the authority just chucked those....

And, even though one particular noise group has lost at court a number of times, they continue to complain... don't they have anything better to do??? they should get a life.......
