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]
The Airport Authority and the FAA should look into suing those six IDIOTS. They have cost the Tax Payers THOUSANDS of DOLLARS to deal with that many IDIOT COMPLAINTS!
Simple answer--- if you lived there when they built the airport maybe ya got a beef
after the airport was operational-----NO!!---- MOVE!!

I have seen this issue in many places and not just near big airports but smaller ones too. I remember back when R.G. Moore decided he wanted to build an upscale golf/housing subdivision next to Patrick Henry International Airport in Newport News VA. Several years down the road, the airport wanted to expand and build maintenance hangers on the east side of the airport near runway 7/25. All of those people living next door complained about possible noise so the project was put on hold for years, even though they did build pads. PHF was around for 40 years before Kiln Creek was build and to make matters worse, the area used to be a swamp and cow pasture (cows had a tunnel under the interstate to get to the pasture) and now owners worry about flooding too. :D
The same also goes for military air fields. No matter where an airport is, most likely, it was built in the middle of nowhere 40 or more years ago with nothing around it. Local planners are the ones to blame for allowing such growth whether be at O'Hare or NAS Oceana or Miramar MCAS or places like the now closed MCAS(H) Tustin or MCAS El Toro (flying the pattern at Tustin was fun due to all the locals flying the pattern out of John Wayne who could not read the big yellow letters on top of the building 2 blocks from Tustin's fence that denoted that airspace).
If you do not want noise, do not move next to an airport.

These people are massively complaining about the noise so that the city or airport authority will buy them out of their houses, just to make them go away.
I lived one mile west of PMD airport for 31 years, during the development, testing, maintenance and modifications of the L-1011, TR1 & 2, B-1, B-2, F-117, SR-71, NASA 747 piggybacking space shuttles, and pilot currency training in the KC-135, C-130's and several others. Was a great experience. Recently I moved to a tract house in northern CA; now all day I hear neighbor's dogs barking, teenagers, boom boxes, noisy trucks and cars, lawn mowers 7 days a week. Guess which is more irritating.
