Lucymerc, I think you may have noticed the noise from the City airport planes as we had easterly winds for about a week or so last week. The City airport flights are low - about 1500 feet and pretty loud as a result.


The majority of the time we get the Heathrow planes which are much bigger and louder planes but higher in the sky - around 4000 feet. Despite the height, because they're generally bigger planes, the noise travels much further and impacts a wider area. There are also more of them - flying from around 4.30am until 11pm at night.


It is incredibly frustrating that we are on a flight path whichever way the wind is blowing so get no respite from noise. There appears to be no joined up thinking/ consideration of this by the powers that be.


If you find the plane noise impacts you negatively, please reply to the Government's consultation on the 3rd runway at Heathrow (which will obviously increase the number of planes and therefore noise). See my previous post for details. It runs out on 25 May.

I agree. Can you say where you were and where you moved to?

Moved from solomons passage peckham rye park to surrey road a bit south. Think the acoustics in our old shared courtyard made it even worse. Sometimes woken at 4.30 a.m. and impossible to get back to sleep. Thay was with double glazing. Now in drafty single glazed victorian house and no problem.

Well this only indicates that there isn't a general problem.

'Well this only indicates that there isn't a general problem.' And? this doesn't mean it isn't a problem.

Ooh you're prickly! Please share your rigorously researched survey of 'most people'.


Your surmising about what you believe I might suggest says a lot ... about you.



Calm down ... Peace, love, zen, its friday and all that.

Actually it was Wednesday when I posted :-) I can't say it's a rigorously researched survey but having lived in the area for 22 years, the only times I've ever come across anyone moaning about aircraft noise in ED is a handful of people on here.


I wasn't being prickly by the way, just amused. I think you've got a little bit of projection going on there hpsaucey, which makes sense, given your "sensitivity" to sounds.

I've lived around here for 12 years. The aircraft noise has sucked the entire time. I can't sleep with my windows open unless I actually want to be awake at 4.30am. I live near a busy road with buses and the aircraft noise is much worse - it's pretty much constant with barely any silence between the flights.


Particularly galling are the rare occasions when planes are landing over East Dulwich into both Heathrow and City (yes this does happen when there has been an easterly that has lapsed into no wind; I've spoken with NATS about it).


[edit - reading and commenting in posts like these makes me feel slightly better about it - a problem shared is a problem doubled and all that ...]

Well, I'm glad you're trying to project amused but prickly. That's good anyway.


No person can judge another person's 'sensitivity' to sound objectively - that would be 'projection' wouldn't it? That is partly the point when you say there isn't a 'general problem' - projection.


And thank fudge I've gained a day and its actually Thursday. I blame the red wine intake.

      I won't thank you at all for posting such nonsense. Antisemitism is rife in London. Week after week for ell over two years people have been out on the street protesting Jews' rights to exist. Jews have been driven out of this country before (as with other European countries) and have to fight very hard all the time to stop that happening again. It happened in East London too in the 1930s, as Hitler rose to prominence. 100,000 citizens of East London signed a petition to block the BUF march in Cable Street. Of course it was ignored and the fascists caused all sorts of chaos across the East End. At least back then the Independent Labour Party were on the right side of history and opposed the BUF march against the Jews. Many of them would be on the other side now supporting Fascism. It's not toxic to state such facts. To flinch from the truth is toxic.

      What nonsense.  It's social mobility.  Huguenots moved to the East End and once they made a bob or two moved to more upmarket areas. Subsequently Jews.  Now Bangladeshi, particularly making a pretty penny once the hipsters moved in.   Antisemitism was a small factor and this was a generation or more ago.   "Jewish people moved out of London's East End between 1900 and the 1950s primarily to escape overcrowded, impoverished conditions and seek better housing and improved social standing in the suburbs." I expect few of us living in the area have witnessed first hand antisemitism.  We may well have seen racism against black, brown people and maybe Eastern Europeans.  Anti Irish sentiment was still prevalent 30 years ago - partly due to the troubles but partly some British superiority complex encouraged by generations of lewd comedians,  Glad that is behind us now.   Why do you have to make such toxic comments?  You'd be better off doing some research and educating yourself.  Here's some reading: https://www.ideastore.co.uk/local-history/collections-and-digital-resources/user-guides/migration-and-communities-in-the-east-end You don't have to thank me.

      I hear there is a task force on the oceans but I was confused to where it is going - Greenland?  The EU or UK in view that the former has a new trade deal and no doubt the PM is after a new one. @Sephiroth The state sponsored killings in the US and Iran got me thinking.  Whilst the scale is clearly different it's still hypocritical.  Not fact checked but apparently several hundred people are killed each year in the 'States by law enforcement officers.  in the UK it's around a couple so corrected for respective populations a couple of percent of the US figures.
