Six Miserable People Filed 25,000 O'Hare Noise Complaints In January
The Chicago Department of Aviation's Airport Noise Management System recently revealed that noise complaints near the international airport are at an all time high. An official report cites that 63 percent of the 39,000 complaints in January came from just six addresses. (flightclub.jalopnik.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Sounds like somebody turned some Bot's loose. A CAPCHA would probably cut it down quite a bit.
The large venue ticket scalpers have long defeated Capcha. The BOT's can buy all the best seats at a concert in seconds.
In almost all cases complaints about airports are from a class of people that attempt to assert control over what they have no rights...Like the people who complain about people who park on a public street in front of their house, or any member of a homeowners association board. They take pleasure in making life difficult for folks that don't conform to their ideas.
Airport noise monitoring departments are about as useful as a fireman on a diesel train. The noise from modern jet engines is so much less than that of early jets like the 707 and 727 that there is really no basis for a complaint. Even close in to runways at airports like Van Nuys or Burbank no one is deprived of the quiet enjoyment of their property.

I can agree on what you say here about the newer engines as compared to the old and yes, CAPCHA has been defeated by the high rollers but you can't make me believe that these are all done by humans. At the above rate of 134 complaints per person per day, if my math is correct, that is almost 6 complaints per person, 24 hrs per day, 7 days per week. Got to be some BOT activity in there. They just need to figure out how to defeat it. Now, that said, that's the thinking of all us poor private sector folks. Government folks just want to show you how hard they are having to wok to keep up with thing and need to hire a few more folks to help carry the load.
a 727, even with the hush kits, would make you grab ear protection when one came by all spooled up
You think they were louder than a 707?
I think so and I flew in a 707 for about 13 years
Had a Boeing guy tell me one time that they did an extra insulation package to protect pax and crew from the noise. You got to remember that that back in the 60's/70's, noise abatement was not high on anybody's radar, and people had the common sense to know that if the built or bought a house by the airport, there would be noise.
May I suggest moving instead of spending all your time filling out noise complaints?
