[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, no. I'm one of those affected by the awful NextGen flight path changes (about 6 miles from DCA) and I'm so pissed. Planes roar overhead every 45 seconds for hours at a time, anytime between 5:30 am and 1 am. They changed the paths AFTER we bought the house and I never would've bought it had those paths already been established, because it sure as heck is loud enough to jerk me out of sleep and the white noise machine, it does nothing. We also now have a horrible time doing anything outside because when DCA is sending planes along that path, you have to converse in 20 second bursts between the loudest roars. All that said, the extra four miles you mention may make a difference because the planes should be higher in the sky. But I'd be wary. Planes are a lot louder than a car - we live next to the GW Parkway as well and the car noise is not a problem (it's also steadier, not soft-loud-LOUD-loud-soft-quiet-soft-loud-LOUD-loud-soft-quiet like the planes are). All these idiots piously complaining about people bothered by plane noise do not live under a flight path and have no idea what they're talking about, trust me. I never knew how bad it could be either til it happened to us.[/quote]
