an increasing number make their presence known by both noise and a physical sensation. It is sometimes necessary for conversation to stop for 30-60 seconds.

Sorry, but I have difficulty accepting such an exaggerated OP. To infer 'suffering' from an overflying helicopter and 'conversation to stop for 30-60 seconds' gets my vote for bulltish, since most of us here would be hard pushed to cease conversation unless standing within 10 yards of an Agusta A109 at flight idle (the noisiest light twin I could think of!), without ear defenders
Even on a still night an overflying Bell 412 air ambulance hardly imposes a noise footprint on my place for less than a minute, and certainly not with enough EPNdB to impact on the ambiance of a rural setting.
This, and sherburn2LA's useless post, come from a poster with a spotty history and a debatable knowledge of aviation.
