Airplane noise can indeed be annoying
I went camping last weekend at the Sunol Regional Wilderness, in Sunol CA. I took my son (14 mos. old) for a simple car camping/hiking trip and we had a good time. But I could not get over the amount of aircraft traffic over the park. It was non-stop! Now the funny thing is that I'm a pilot, and I've spent countless boring holes over the San Antonio reservoir (a few miles away). Morever, I know that the SUNOL intersection is only 10 miles away and is a fix for A LOT of procedures. All of this gave me some sympathy for those who are frustrated with airplane noise. I'm not talking about people who live in the approach paths for major airports, for whom I have little sympathy, but with people who unbenknownst to them, live under an important fix, or a popular practice area. It was an interesting experience. -- dave j PS -- By the way, it was the jet traffic that was most annoying. I could not tell exactly what was going on, but it sounded like the airliners descend from the flight levels to SUNOL and then put power back in to maintain 10k or so. One after the next you could hear engines spool up. |

Airplane noise can indeed be annoying
Returning to the original topic....I live 5 miles due north of a very
busy GA airport, directly under the way-out-there approach to 17. Strangely enough, the only traffic that bothers me is the police helicopter as it rushes over my house to wherever... But, I also live in a city environment where it's rarely and truly quiet, there's always some ambient noise that intrudes inside the house. |

Mike is talking about flying gliders. Not really sure what you're talking about. "Cruising" is when you are at the plane's best speed. "Gliding" in flight without power. I'll help you with any other terms you might like. |

But, I also live in a city environment where it's rarely and truly quiet, there's always some ambient noise that intrudes inside the house. That's Atlanta, I have been there many times. |
