Aircraft noise -

[lparsons]

Does anyone know if there has been change in terms of London flight paths, last night we heard plane after plane never heard them at ours before ?

[lparsons]

We are on Crebor Street (near Dunstans Road) - anyone else noticing this change or does it come and go ?

[edcam]

Just what we need, another thread about aircraft noise.

It comes and goes for us. The flight paths vary depending on conditions.

Have you seen these sites?

I see after having a hunt around I can see this an exhausted topic! Had no idea, never noticed it before certainly not in our new flat so wanted check if it was a new thing, bit annoying. (particularly last night)

They must vary the paths so thats the first time we noticed,

I could ahve sworn there was a bigger thread on this topic already.

Totally agree... I lived in Kew for 20 yrs and that's where you get proper aircraft noise... sick of this pointless bleeting about flight paths etc

[newboots]

The planes seemed particularly noisy and particularly early this morning!

Did you not see that op apologised for duplicating the topic Dog duck? If you think another thread "bleeting (sic) about flight paths" is pointless then why did you click on it? Presumably just so that you could have a go at someone who has inadvertently committed an EDF faux pas?

You know that Admin will lounge or lock the thread sooner or later.

When I lived in Acton the bleating about air-craft noise was far worst than it is here. Every morning at 4am I used to log to some website to find out yet another person had complained about it. It used to drive me nuts.

Planes are directly overhead but can't hear them.

Too much traffic noise to notice :)

The first lovely lovely evening of spring, and the question in my mind is whether it is reasonable or unreasonable to have zero respite from plane noise, whatever time of day it occurs? I thought 20 planes an hour were the max allowed but they have been going over constantly this evening. Did anyone else notice this?

Airport decisions are highly commercial, and political, as far as I can see. It's not bleating it is about reasonable decisions. I was driven inside.

PS I searched EDF on 'plane' and this was the first thread that came up, happy to get redirected to a link and I might learn how flight paths & frequency can occur like this evening.

Hi KirstyH,

If the noise troubles you then please consider joining HACAN who campaign to reduce the noise impact of Heathrow and HACAN East who campaign against the noisei mpact of London City Airport.

And the balance between all interested parties in when, where and how noisy planes fly over us is entirely political.

I did notice it was very very noisy this morning with aircraft noise. Mind you I was at Heathrow collecting my daughter.

This thread seems a bit - well, lifeless. While there has been plenty of sniping about previous extensive threads on the subject of aircraft noise (which helps me get back to sleep so I can't see what the fuss is about anyway), the discussion is lacking a bit of oomph. Maybe some reference to, I don't know, newbies perhaps, or blow-ins. Where have you gone dear Louisa? East Dulwich turns its lonely eyes to you...

[Nutmeg]

I was surprised to find threads on aircraft noise as its never bothered me before (after 9 years in ED) but I was woken up this morning by a low flying aircraft at 6.15 and then there was a succession of them so I thought I'd see if anyone else noticed a particular problem this morning?

Aircraft have to fly over someone's home.. Especially when landing.

Anyone who has ever flown has absolutely no right to complain about Aircraft noise.

So get over it.

How do airports choose and get approval for their routing. Agree of course they need to fly somewhere. On what basis are these routes authorised. I did see some passing statement in a Dulwich Society email that City Airport's routing had recently changed without any announcements and that this was to be investigated. Not seen anything since tho.

Couldn't agree more. There are much more pressing things to worry about.

> DulwichFox

[Nutmeg]

yes of course there are but why is it that the people who feel there are so many more pressing things to worry about are the very ones who choose to waste their time commenting on these things!

[edcam]

Well because it's a forum, where people comment on things etc.

Perhaps the people here complaining about anyone wanting to discuss the noise (again) should draw up a list of things we are allowed to talk or not talk about with others living locally. Would that make things easier? Or perhaps if you don't want to discuss aircraft noise you should just not click on the link and let the rest of us get on with it.

I've often wanted to discuss the aircraft noise on here but know it is pointless with others trying to derail the conversation just because the noise isn't a problem to them (well good for you) or they clearly have more important things to talk about.

[DulwichFox]

Well on occasion (Quite regularly) they do literally fly directly over my house.

If I'm indoors and the windows are closed I don't hear them. 'Double Glazing'

The only time they ever wake me up is in the summer if I leave my bedroom window open.

That is Very rarely.

constant planes right now. It never used to be like this! I don't sleep with my windows closed I have them open. The sooner Boris is PM and builds the estuary airport the better!!

[edcam]

Of course you're allowed to complain about it, just as others are allowed to comment that it isn't a problem.

I saw a plane yesterday flying what I perceived as really low (could make out the windows); maybe a flight path has changed bringing the planes lower and making them louder. I have new double glazing in my bathroom And could still hear the planes at 6am this morning...
