[quote=Anonymous]We live next to Glen Echo and are sometimes in the flight path. Your brain learns to tune it out, just like it does with other background noise. I can be in the backyard and not notice it unless a friend who is visiting brings it up. The only time it's obvious is when it's a certain level of clouds so the planes have to fly really low below them on approach, but that's not common. I used to live in an apartment next to a bunch of bars. Every morning at 5am, trucks would come to pick up the trash cans of glass beer bottles and taht was quite a sound. I noticed it the first week I lived there, then tuned it out after a week as my brain adjusted. Same with road noise, which you'll see at some neighborhoods in Glen Echo or nearby -- you can hear the hum of the Beltway, but only if you really listen for it or are not used to it. The brain's an amazing thing.[/quote]
