airplane noise in foxhall village?

[Anonymous]

DCUM racists prefer to live under constant airplane noise than live near dark-skinned people elsewhere in the district

I'm not sure what it is; but agree it does not make sense

Pretty sure the same person complaining here about airplane noise is the same person who filed 7000 complaints. https://jalopnik.com/reagan-national-airport-received-almost-7-000-noise-com-1851312692

There’s a whole thread on this. You’re digging up old news on an effort the neighbors made and assigned reporting to the neighborhood focal points.

It’s a jerk move. Even if you are a real estate agent with a vested interest

Here’s the news talking about your news, all from ten years ago, but this also tells it like it is. Mandatory reading before buying under those flight paths

There is nothing on the agenda for departures over Foxhall.

The slides summarizing the upcoming changes indicate that they will start reviewing the departure patterns. It might take years but they are planning to look at it.

Who are "they"?

This what we did. We got an AirBNB in the Palisades for a month and the airplane noise drove us crazy. So we ruled out the whole area and settled in N Cleveland Park.

Good on you. Smart. And a much better investment imho

"The upcoming changes that FAA is implementing should improve the noise situation in Foxhall"

The new flight path will in fact be a little closer to Foxhall but its effect on noise is unknown because as far as I know nobody has ever asked for a noise analysis. The changes in arrival procedures the poster is referring to are being spearheaded by the Montgomery County members of this committee. https://www.flyreagan.com/sites/flyreagan.com/files/2023-10/Reagan%20National_Noise%20Working%20Group_Voting%20Members_Oct302023%20%281%29.pdf
As a result, beginning July 2024 arriving airplanes will no longer be descending solely over the Potomac community but over a wider area in Montgomery County. The FAA has been testing this procedure for the last couple of years. Once the airplanes reach the Potomac River they will be flying in a channelized manner just like they do right now.


"FAA will be discouraging planes arriving from the north from flying directly over the neighborhood."

The statement is misleading. The poster is referring to the so-called bad weather procedure which is separate from the regular arrival procedure. That's when in heavy rain or fog airplanes fly directly over neighborhoods. Indeed, the procedure will be used less, but it is irrelevant because the FAA is already working on a new bad weather procedure and has not yet shared any details with anyone. Therefore, nobody knows what impact it will have on Foxhall or any other community.


"I don’t think anything changes about departures yet, but it seems to be on the agenda."

Please show us the agenda. You know something nobody else knows. The FAA is not planning any further changes to northerly departures. They have just completed a multi-year project. Are the plans you are referencing being made and pushed through by some on the DCA Community Noise Working Group without any input from the public?

I was just citing what I read in a presentation that was linked in another thread here in DCUM. I think it was specifically about Bethesda.Too lazy to look it up for you but you can do it yourself if you are this invested in the topic.

Not sure about Foxhall village but Alexandria has become hell on earth with plane noise. Literally a 60-70dB noise every 1-2 minutes. I can’t imagine the amount of ultra fine particle pollution that we are all inhaling as residents of the DMV. Hopefully future generations can do better.

But then again, people aren't getting routinely carjacked or robbed at gunpoint by airplanes.

Thank you for saying this. Somebody on the thread referred to the change in departures in 2021 as just a minor change. It was like a slap in the face to many residents in Virginia.

More noise for Bethesda? Again? Why is Bethesda the dumping ground for all the noise these days?
