One resident living under the flight path, Virginia Godfrey, described the nightly noise from aircraft as intolerable. She told the BBC: "It's loud enough to wake you up, and loud enough that you don't get back to sleep again once you've been woken up."
So you see: it's that 'special' type of noise that not only wakes you up but means you can't go back to sleep again (possiblye forever).
