Default Airplane Noise Linked To High Blood Pressure

Why do those people with hypertension choose to live under the
flight-path of neighborhood airports? Is it because that is the only
location their financial means affords them?


I suspect that is a bit of what actually happens. A lot of upscale
over-achievers move next to airports because the land is cheap, often
scenic, and you can afford more house. They also tend to be the sort of
people who don't think things all the way through before committing
themselves, so they are constantly suffering from self-induced stress
for which they blame others. Show me a litigious S of a B living near
an airport and I will show you that he would be a litigious S of a B
with high blood pressure just about anywhere else.
