[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in McLean, close to where Balls Hill Rd crosses Georgetown Pike.  Never hear airplanes (or the Beltway).  Lots of helicopters and lawnmowers.  I think it's odd that the OP hears so many airplanes.  [/quote]

It must really depend, because you could see the planes in a line going to DCA if you are running errands in DC downtown and from downtown parking lots I couldn't hear as much noise as from the house that's in a wooded area further from DT, but they fly in a liine, so a lot of areas along the Potomac river that are up to 2 miles in would hear it, this makes some areas of Mclean/GF/Arlington lucky enough to be far enough to avoid it. But interestingly, the most expensive huge homes on acres of land are close to that noise and apparently the owners don't care?  [/quote]

So I wrote that comment that the person responded to. Was out walking my dog today, and happened to see the "line of planes" that people have mentioned.  There are lines of planes.  Oddly enough, I could see them but not hear them from my neighborhood, which, as I mentioned, is close the intersection of Balls Hill and Georgetown Pike.  It was quiet, I could hear birds chirping, nature sounds, normal neighborhood things.  And still clearly see the planes bound for DCA.  Acoustics are weird.[/quote]
