i used to live a with in a couple of miles of the south end of SeaTac airport.

it would freak people out coming over for a visit to see planes coming in for a landing directly over our street. i got to be pretty good at being able to tell how many engines the planes had without even looking up. open a window and all you heard for 15 minutes was planes landing or taking off. this would happen twice an hour.

luckily with the addition of the 3rd runway the port did $25k in sound insulation to the house at their expense. if the windows were closed you could barley tell a plane was overhead.

major benefit....low heating bills.

love the response from the airman...he could have been real obnoxious if he wanted but took the high road.
