... I'm not familar with the above group, but here in Seattle we have a group that lives next to KSEA (class B Seattle-Tacoma International) which constantly complains about the noise. Since no one is going to close KSEA to night operations or even consider reducing the number of operations they are out of luck. ... Either way local governments should not pass laws to control airspace. Somethings should be handled at the federal level, others at the state level, and others at the local level. May be more than academic interest that where an airport has air carrier ops, fed law specifically reserves jurisdiction over noise matters to the FAA. Otherwise, it's the thorny legal mess of whether the federal preemption in general trumps, and I believe in general courts won't object to reasonable restrictions. There's local prohibitions against late-night student touch-goes and loud jets after a certain time in a lot of places. Not that I agree, I believe here, to the extent the issue is beyond citizens' selfish perception problems, it may be the prolonged noise footprint rather than mere decibels, compared to now and then in takeoff/landing ops but greater peak db.
