Hell, I'd wager that the reverse thrust on the tridents (and 1-11s) was noisier listening FROM Portmarnock than the current aircraft approaching! Sometimes the house would actually rumble and that was, what, 6km away? Of course there is still the odd Tupolev and Ilyushin flying in but that's about as bad as it gets nowadays.
