Noise regulations generally strike a good balance between airports operating efficiently and not causing unnecessary disturbance. What can be wrong with that unless you just get a kick out of annoying people? In which case you probably haven't reached the metal age to be flying a plane.
Well, then, let's all sign off our call signs and just go home. And if we're taking a civil air transport flown by an ATP to get there, let's not worry whether noise abatement restrictions have a statistical, or unquantifiable but nonetheless real, detrimental impact on safety. After all, the whole Swiss cheese model, why, that's just the concoction of a "few pilots on the internet."
