[quote=Anonymous]Planes change paths depending on weather, wind, etc, and there are several flight paths they use, many are veering off the river into VA and there noise everywhere. You cannot avoid it anywhere in DC metro even National Mall. With flight paths changing even deeper in neighborhoods miles from the river are effected. We get a fair amount of noise sometimes when every plane seems to fly along the same path over residential homes. They also fly low even though we are far from the airports. It's all over VA, Alexandria, Arlington, Mclean, even Great Falls. I suppose same is true for some parts of DC and MD. DCA while convenient isn't really suitable for having so many flights given how dense the area all around had become, it's literally smack in the middle of a busy metro area and hard to avoid any airplane noise regardless where you live, not to mention there is no guarantee flight paths won't appear above you. The only thing you should do is avoid areas where planes fly in a line low enough for hours on end every day and every minute. when this happens to us it's truly disturbing to one's peace even if you are indoors. It's constant noise that doesn't abate. Being outdoors is horrible, being indoors you still hear it. People don't complain enough, and apparently there is a bill to add more flights to this already busy airport not reduce them. [/quote]
