Seems to me that in this story they talk about soundproofing and how good it works. I guess some folks are just born to gripe and see nothing of the hipocracy of buying a house next to an airport.
Yup. When DFW went in, it had cattle for neighbors. Now it has complaining homeowners. (But it was priced sooo right! LOL). Meanwhile, my mother-in-law lived off the take-off end of KSTL 24, and it drove me nuts when I was sleeping over and 24 was active. But then, I lived way out in the country at the time, with a 2-mile gravel road back into it.
I got an Aunt & Uncle living on South Side Chicago and underneath MDW. They have been there for years and used to it.
Yeah, my mother-in-law was like, "noise, what noise?"
never had issue with sounds
few years ago FAA paid for soundproof windows and it still don't bother me
maybe people who don't like the sound of JT8Ds at 530am...not me
