Default Planes drone out MLK celebration

Today's annual Martin Luther King celebration in Newark, California
was disrupted today by small planes. In a reenactment of the "I have
a dream" speach, the crowd could't hear anything but plane drone.

One time I was trying to watch a football game and got interrupted
several times by tele-marketers calling on the telephone. I couldn't
hear or see anything during that time.

I think it's a derogatory term for a carpenter ;-)

You mispelled "plain"... Given that correction, then the reenactment was
just like the original...

Did you try something innovative, such as turning off the ringer? Or even
more imaginative, such as registering for the "do not call list," or
getting an unregistered, unlisted number?

Can you think of clever analogies for victims of GA noise pollution?

Please provide more information about that which you allege. How many
aircraft were overhead at one time? How close is the nearest airport
to the location of that celebration?

Now if the site chosen for the MLK Jr. celebration was located in the
departure/arrival paths of Compton or Fullerton airports, there is
some culpability on the part of the celebration planners if they
expected absolute quiet. The airspace overlying portions of Norwalk
requires an ATC clearance to operate above 2,500' as a necessity to
accommodate airline traffic at LAX. That may also be a factor in the
low altitude of aircraft operating below the Class B floor over
Norwalk.

In my experience, the noise generated by low-flying aircraft only
affects hearing a conversation directly under it, and that only lasts
for 20 seconds. So please provide more information about the number,
height and frequency of the aircraft you allege disrupted the
ceremonies.
