It is worth making a complaint every time. Certainly if it is waking you up.

Settling my children. Been roughly every minute but Max 90 seconds and min 30 between maximum plane noise for the last hour that I've been listening. Need to atop listening but sure don't remember there being so many in the past..

This morning: barely a sound in the sky. Heathrow is on easterly operations today - it's made a very pleasant change :-)

"Heathrow hints it may oppose ban on night flights as price for third runway".

'While most of the commission?s 11 requirements, including compensation topping ?1bn to buy out homeowners or provide for insulation schemes, echo Heathrow?s own pledges, the airport is particularly concerned by a ban on scheduled night flights between 11.30pm and 6am. Holland-Kaye said banning early-morning arrivals would impact on lucrative business routes: ?We have a significant number of routes to Hong Kong and Singapore. That?s getting key trading partners into the UK to start their business. It?s very popular because it?s an important route: we have to have some time to reflect on those and discuss them with government and airlines.?'

Steeper approaches from 14th, September. Doesn't help those living near Heathrow but should, hopefully, bring us some relief.

Btw, easterly winds means today and tomorrow should be a lot quieter.

Which road are you in?

I sometimes hear lots and lots early in the morning, say5/ 6 am onwards, then it cools off.

Are you sure it's not you who's tired? Your grammar and spelling seem a bit jaded.

Book a flight and have fun with rest

Funny you say this - now Underhill Road is back open to buses, had forgotten what a racket they make!

[Penguin68]

Funnily enough I had been expecting to note the onrush of traffic in Underhill - maybe it's because it's the school holidays but I have found that the change from blocked to unblocked has not had the impact I was anticipating. And I am really pleased to see (and even hear) the buses back again. I live in a street which usefully leads to places that I, and others, want to get to. I have been happy to accept that that also means that people will use it. It's a trade-off.

Last few days have been lovely quiet thanks to easterly winds.

Reminds me of a few years back when ED wasn't impacted by aircraft noise and morons.

[Sweptwind]

If you're bothered by aircraft noise in the area, then this is for you.

Roughly half of planes arriving and departing from Heathrow belong to the Airbus A320 family which have been in service for a number of years. You always know when one of these is around because it makes a high pitched whistling noise, unlike the lower rumble of other planes. This whistling is generated by air flowing over a number of holes in the wing called Fuel Over Protector Cavities. Only now has a fix been manufactured, which is being implemented by a number of airlines. Lufthansa and Air France have almost finished with their Airbus fleet. BA (i.e. the prime noise generator at Heathrow have yet to start, but allegedly will do so in October 2015).

If you're wondering, the noise difference is immense. A Lufthansa A320 is not audible indoors, and not intrusive outside.

Anyone who lives near Heathrow BOUGHT into the noise they knew what they were getting.

In ED we didn't many of us have been here since WAY WAY before the Aircraft NOISE !!

Not V difficult to understand OUR position !

[Otta]

How do you CHOOSE which words YOU'RE going to CAPITALISE?

[fazer71]

Y r a C

Capitalise that.

[tfwsoll]

I have no idea whether the flight paths have changed over the last few years but I have had aircraft noise since I moved here 23 years ago. The 4.45am plane has made my windows rattle when it flies over. Sometimes it's noisier than others but I don't recall a time when East Dulwich wasn't impacted by aircraft noise.

[fabfor]

I care, Otta. Just everyday empathy which (sometimes even against your will) makes you care about others' suffering. It's commonplace.

[fazer71]

tfwsoll

That hasn't been my experience.

Sure aircraft have flown over ED for many years but we've never had the current every 2 min aircraft noise with aircraft flying low above us. That's a recent development.

Around three years ago the intensity changed it became more intense directly above Dulwich.

With westerly winds.

It is now a constant whistle from a320s as mentioned above.
