GA planes are completely exempted from any noise restrictions. Some
people think that state or local noise statutes should not have an
exclusive exemption for GA.
Really. We are? I checked the ordinances for the cities that I fly out
of and they do not exempt aircraft of any type. Again, check your facts.
I bet you wouldn't like it if I could legally ride a Harley with
straight
pipes 1000' from your residence at any hour of the day or night. It's
They can here.

simple as that.
You're right, it is very simple. I'd call the cops, same as I do on my
neighbor with the stereo. Why can't you do the same? No matter what
you claim, aircraft are not exempt from noise restrictions. If your
city claims they can't do anything about aircraft noise, that's a
problem to take up with them.
Oh, well, no use arguing with a troll. It's really too bad my filters
aren't working.
Apparently, you do not have the slightest idea what you are talking about.
The FAA has sole jurisdiction over any and all aircraft operation. Cities
can pass all the aircraft noise ordinances they want but their enforcement
ability is zero.
Apparently, you do not have the slightest idea what you are talking
about. I've seen tickets given. Maybe the city didn't have the
authority to do it, but they do. End of story.
Cities, townships, and counties...even states pass laws and
regulations for which only the feds have the jurisdiction, but they do
it and get away with it until some one knowledgeable and with enough
money to be able to afford to take them to court and win comes along.
So they pass the laws and enforce them by default until some one slaps
their hands and gets in their pocketbooks. Then another city down the
road turns around and passes a carbon copy and it starts all over
again.
