Is Everyone Else Hearing Extra Plane Noise?

It’s been a while since anyone in the area complained of noisy plane routes, but it seems like it’s picking up again. From Ryan McCarthy on Twitter:

And if you take a look at the signatures on a petition at Prospect Park Quiet Skies, you’ll notice an uptick in complaints from South Slope/Park Slope neighbors:

I am writing this in the southern portion of Park Slope, on a Sunday morning at 9am. Normally, it’s quiet enough for me to sleep later. However, the helicopter and low lying planes started around 8am and have been going non-stop.

This aircraft noise problem is NOT just a Park Slope or Brooklyn issue. It affects hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. We New Yorkers deserve more from our spineless senators and representatives.

Have you noticed more plane noise recently, worse than it’s been in the past?
