[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]That was before the Next Gen.[/b] DC under the flight path now has dB 55-59 average which is artificially low. Of course the noise is breaking DC regulations already even if you assume the reported level is that low. When I measured dBs they were consistently in the 60s and 70s, averaging 67dB. Again, that was specific to 1-2 blocks but is instructive.

To the PPs, saying the choice is gunshots or bad schools or whatever, that’s just ridiculous. There are many neighborhoods, just as nice, with better elementary and middle schools and no planes. Everyone has a right to their preference, but I wanted to highlight this in case someone moving to DC stumbles upon those posts. There’s a list somewhere in this thread with a number of even more prestigious zip codes that have no planes and have the same or better conditions.[/quote]

Wrong.  "Noise modeling was conducted for eight days in 2010 and eight days in 2015-2016 to show the difference in aircraft noise levels as a result of the implementation of the NextGen program at DCA"
