Suprise, Suprise I'm back!!!!!!
I just must add to this .....
The only aircraft noise I find at all intrusive is that of a Duchess (or similar) going round the procedure turn onto the ILS, just over my house, with the props in fine making an awful noise, especially if they are out of sync.
Some moons ago I owned a flight school.
My flight instructors were taugh to select props foward entering the procedure turn during instrument training.
I gave them a written directive this would not be tolerated in my twin engine airplane.
They told me that was the way it was taught and that was what they were going to do.
I gave them written notice of dismissal for cause.
They went to Transport Canada who had the temerity to call me and demand I stay out of how flight training was taught and I could not fire these instructors for the way they were teaching...I said I am not fireing them for the way they are teaching because they will not be teaching people to abuse my airplane, but I'll make you a deal.
You as the regulator give me a written guarantee that you will pay for any cost involved if these idiots who are using a method of engine handling that can shorten the life of my engines mandated by you and I will allow it.
Even though the IQ of most of the drones in TC flight training is in the low two digit range I was certain that enough of them would pool their IQ and rise to a number that would guarantee my engines would be operated the way I dictated to my employees.
I was correct, TC backed down and the instructors did it my way and produced a far better product not to mention my airplane was happy not being abused.
