[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s your neighborhood?[/quote]

We're in Bethesda, a couple of blocks from the DC line. [/quote]

so are we, right off Mass Ave in Westmoreland Hills and this has never once bothered us. I truly can't comprehend how this is an issue. Do you sleep with every window open and in complete silence. Does your home have a roof?

If this somehow bothers you, why don't you move? You live a block from one of the busiest cities in the world. What do you expect? Quiet skies? That's what Cumberland is for.[/quote]

I have a roof.  My windows are closed.  If I could post a recording of the jet currently flying over my house, I would.

I don't expect silence.  But what I'd like is approximately the noise level that existed when we moved here.  The uptick is noticeable to my out-of-town family who complained that they couldn't sleep, and they've been visiting me here for 25 years without ever commenting on it.

I kinda doubt that you live where you say you live. [/quote]

I promise you I live right near the park. Invest in a better roof and insulation? You expect the noise to be the same it was TWENTY FIVE years ago?? Are you kidding. Your generation has lost it. DC was a totally different animal pre-9/11. The growth and sprawl has exponentially increase and you live right near the heart of it. I can't believe people think this wouldn't change in 25 years..

DC metro had a population of 3.8M in 1999 and now it's just under 6M. Do you not expect increased flights with a 50% increase in population?
