Other people's rights? Huh? Given that most airspace is *public* in most
countries (certainly in the US, Canada, UK, etc), aircraft are neither
breaking the law or disregarding anyone's rights by using that airspace.
You bought the land, not the air. Think of it as traffic noise from a
public highway, because that's exactly what it is.

As for 'consider myself lucky', I'll confess: I love aircraft noise. When
I hear an aircraft overhead I know that someone within earshot is doing
one of the coolest things humanity has ever done, and probably
having fun doing it. Knowing that I can do it too just makes me like the
noise a lot more.
