buy a house somewhere else. maybe near an oil refinery!
I've lived within 1/2 a mile of LAX for most of the last 18 years. I have no complaints to make. Over on the other side of the airport you can have it both ways. There's an oil refinery there. Oh, and the sewage treatment plant too. I'm glad I live on THIS side of the airport!
The local airport complaint groups are a real hoot. But they did get money from the airport to retrofit nearby houses with double pane windows and such...
As for noise abatement procedures, I've always done my best to fly as quietly as conditions allow. At the airports like SMO and SNA that have noise enforcement sensors, one has to learn the proper techniques to defeat the noise police and deny them their fine! For the years I flew charter out of BUR, I was often the one giving the nice people of Burbank their 5 AM wakeup call! But then, I love airport noise.
