Were you here before the airports? Probably not. Would an intelligent person think that as time passes airports would be busier and therefore noisier? Probably so. Why do so many people want to live near airports and expect to get special treatment to abate the noise at the cost of all taxpayers? If you live in the bay area the least noisy thing might be aircraft. With all the trains, cars and trucks, leaf blowers and other noisy things it seems that people are whining about things they should have known about before moving here. I've lived near airports all my life and just don't understand these complaints. Yes it is noisier, but there has always been noise somewhere over us. It seems that when the pattern shifts we get a new crowd of people whining about the noise others were exposed to before. This is like soda taxes. What's next? Candy bars, cakes, pies, lattes...the list goes on. Aircraft, garbage trucks, cars, trains, leaf blowers, loud music...the list also goes on. Take care of your situation as an individual and let others be. If you don't like noise you can always move somewhere really quiet and live with the inconvenience of having to go get everything you need because it is so far away. But at least it will be quiet.

PM:
I'm sure the same argument has been made about all kinds of pollution: people shouldn't live near the sources, they should just move somewhere else, etc. No one is asking for a completely silent world, but what we do ask for is freedom from pollution of all kinds that has significant negative health and/or environmental impacts.

Besides, where is one supposed to move? Many of us chose where we lived to avoid aircraft noise and now, with no warning or voice in the matter, find ourselves subjected to it relentlessly. Considering how many places are dealing with aviation noise, whether commercial or general, avoiding it is becoming increasingly difficult.

Even if aircraft were completely silent they are far too polluting for continual expansion of aviation to be sustainable. There is simply no justification for the NextGen procedures, the way they were implemented, or their ultimate goal: the significant expansion of aviation.

Yeah, like people in MVLA are really close to SFO. 30 miles is nothing.

No, the planes have always been here. There are less than 10% more flying than
before March 15,2015. But the noise is 25 times more.

This is not a question of unavoidable noise. This noise is ON PURPOSE and NEEDLESS.
