Noise abatement, what a crock. "Hello? Mayor's office? Yes, I just moved next to a large international airport and all I hear is airplane noise. It's very loud. Why did I move next to a large airport? Well, the house was cheap...." What's next??? Shutting down highways due to road noise? No more emergency vehicles as they are too loud? A couple years back, my company was fined by the Toronto airport or TC for taking off at 5:58 am after being cleared for T/O as their noise abatement procedure doesn't allow for departures before 6 am. Really....
