airplane noise in foxhall village?

[Anonymous]

PP's post seems a bit exaggerated. I'm sensitive to noise myself, but I've been living in Foxhall Village for years now and not once have I ever been really bothered by airplane noise. With the windows closed, I don't even notice it. When the weather is pleasant and I open the windows, I can hear planes but it is far from overwhelming.

The upcoming changes that FFA is implementing should improve the noise situation in Foxhall as they are moving one navigation point further west and will be discouraging planes arriving from the north from flying directly over the neighborhood. I don’t think anything changes about departures yet, but it seems to be on the agenda.

I’ve lived in Foxhall for 6 years and it has never bothered me. It’s not even noticeable unless you’re outside, and then it is indistinguishable from typical city noise, which itself is rare in Foxhall. There is one rage-filled person who screams irrationally about it constantly- this person’s sensitive nature does not represent the experience of the neighborhood.

Do not do it because you will regret it. Some people never get used to it. They start flying just after 5 am these days.

You can’t get used to it and shouldn’t, it terrible, relentless and seriously unhealthy. Both the noise and pollution. Stop being gaslighted by the homeowners trying to protect their blighted properties’ values

Having said that it was the noise that turned us off. It was relentless and awful. I don’t know how anyone can get used to it.

Sit in front of the house for 10 minutes on Monday at about 9am and time the planes. It’s about 3-4 per minute. It starts before dawn and ends after midnight. That’s a no.

cute neighborhood we always liked and would go to open houses there but post-2014 NextGen it became a problem. Like PPs have said, we sat outside and inside there one summer and heard the intense noise what felt like every 30-90 seconds, not a whole lot better than being at Gravelly Point which our kids used to enjoy. Everyone has different standards, but for us it was so disruptive that it'd ruin any outside BBQ party or kids play time. And the growing literature on airborne aerosolized jet fuel exhaust falling to the ground these days is something we werent following but that sounds convincing

This!

The only person with a sensitive nature is you bristling at people calling it like they see it and hear it.

ps
Are you the unhinged person accusing anyone daring to say there’s airplane noise of personal vendettas against the Palisades and Foxhall, involving made up spurned lovers and stupidities like that?

This is an easy one. Would you ever in a million years consider buying a house under a relentless low flying flight path EOTP? No. Why in the everloving universe would you ever consider it WOTP?! Smart money looks elsewhere

Get a good map and a copy of the flight path and lay it on the map. The further you are away from the flight path the better off you are. Directly under the path and close to the airport is no buy zone.

Not true! The new arrivals will be closer to Foxhall. The new flight path is shown in white.

There is nothing on the agenda for departures over Foxhall.

This is absolutely insane and anyone with common sense can figure out you’re full of it.

I agree that the noise situation is terrible. It is not normal to expose residents to this kind of noise and air pollution. Stay away , OP.
