Back in ED and the Aircraft Noise is worst than EVER !

[fazer71]

I've been away on a contract now back and the Aircraft Noise is terrible.

Windows open with the heat what a mare!

[Crustyrack]

It's all City Airport traffic, doubling back over ED to make final descent from the west; that's why they are so low.

[Jeremy]

I thought you liked the noise, fazer?

I agree. It's the London City air traffic that is the noisiest.

What part of ED are you in?

[Crustyrack]

Here you are, the last plane to go over...

[fazer71]

I'm up near Dulwich Library.

Going into Heathrow at the moment.

It's the dronnnnnnigggggggwhistleeeeeee noise soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo invasive.

Does your house have a cellar, fazer? Have you considered converting it into a soundproof bunker?

Yeah, makes a cracking sound, too.

The southern end of ED seems to be worse, according to that map. I am at northern end, and don't find the the noise too intrusive.

I'm sure. I'll listen out for it.

It's an app shows you which planes, when and where are overhead. Quite cool when the red arrows are doing a fly past! And to spot random planes a mile up, when you don't hear them and you know the flight is going from Paris to NY !There are websites as well that you can see details of flights overhead. Didn't quite realise quite how many flights use this area as an approach. I thought when City airport was planned most flights were going to approach via the Thames...

[shaunag]

That's cool crustyrack. What's the app called? My husband does a lot of flying and would be cool to point out his actual plane to the kids every so often!

[edcam]

Fazer - what did you talk about with the people you met while you were away on your contract? Swap any phone numbers?

I'm up that end too. They fly right past my bedroom and living room windows. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

[Crustyrack]

The app is called flightradar24

You must live in a really tall building, Jah

Join HACAN who campaign against Heathrow noise and recently merged with campaign against London City Airport noise.

As a plane watcher it excites me each time a plane descends over ED. Wave next time you are in one of those planes, fazer71!

Love the planes coming over ED. Always have the binoculars handy.

As long as we have Heathrow and City Airport we will have plane noise.
