[quote=Anonymous]I moved to Palisades in November (near Foxhall). I can hear the planes, in my house, with the windows closed. The weather/clouds do make a difference - on cloudy days they are louder.

I moved here from NE DC, and previously was in Logan Circle. I very much prefer the plane noise over the other city noises - ambulances/sirens, "fireworks", dump trucks, parties, drunk people at night, etc.

For anyone considering moving here, you will hear it, but you can definitely get used to it. I'm a very light sleeper and I sleep with a white noise machine at a low setting and have no issues with the planes. IMO the benefits of this location (proximity to nature, parks, downtown, walkability, small town vibe, friendly unpretentious people) far outweigh the noise. It's pretty nice being 15 min from the airport when it's time to travel (although this is much of DC). Often the birds are louder than the planes. I'd still be happy living here even if there were 2x the number of planes.[/quote]
