Not really so, Alan, the ones we notice the most are the military ones going up/down the river. Not only are they far heavier machines but they as often as not come in formations.
At the very moment I write this a Chinook is doing a touch-and-go (apparently) at Woolwich Barracks and I can hear him from several miles away. It does seem more appropriate to do this training at 18.00 rather than late at night. It's a stormy, rainy night outside and I wish you well, chaps. Honestly.
