Where were you distributed? That sounds painful.

Noise travels further in cold weather. As we are in December it might make sense you are hearing it more now. Then again you are like 2 maybe 3 miles from a major airport. What did you expect?

Don’t move near an airport and complain about airport noises.

I have been so distributed. It’s not even funny.

Just don’t be like that guy who submits a 311 complaint every single day about loud airplane noises coming from Logan

I live in Jeffries Point, sleep pretty well. You might have a sleeping disorder, might want to get that checked out

I haven't noticed and I am on the end of the runway in eastie basically, but a heavy sleeper. I'm speculating but I think they climb faster and have to throttle up more in high winds which we've had.

Depending on prevailing wind direction, they take off and land on different runways and therefore fly over different areas on approach or departure. If you're within 5mi of an airport, that's life.

I also used to live at the end of the 22s in Orient Heights, OP must be a very legit sleeper. (At that point I’d be surprised that a passing car doesn’t wake them up). Also planes decrease their throttles after like 1,000 AGL or so from take off to climb thrust, so it should be even quieter and higher once they’re around OP

Chelsea and Everett and near the airport, so this is to be expected. I, too, live near the airport. Most residents acclimate.

If you own your own property, you may need to invest in better windows and frames for sound insulation.

A cheaper solution is to invest in 'sleeping ear plugs' such as these.

If airplane noise continues to be a problem for you, than you should consider living farther from the airport.

Traffic patterns. Every few years or so they rotate the boston air traffic patterns. There are a variety of reasons but one of them is local noise pollution. Unfortunately airplanes are noisy and any people who live by a major airport are going to get some noise from low flying craft. However it was decided when Logan was being built that east boston would have born the brunt of that noise pollution. As a middle ground that agreed to rotate the incoming air traffic to fly over from a number of different directions on a rotating basis. You’re probably just in the new pattern route. It won’t last too long. Just try and get used to it and you won’t even notice after a while

Might be worth submitting a complaint to the FAA. I think complaints help inform them about where to spend noise mitigation money etc.

See here: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/noise_emissions/noise_complaints

But yeah, it’s also because winter. I don’t know if it’s because it’s cold and the air is dryer or because none of the trees have leaves, but it just hits different.

you live in a smaller city near the airport, I mean, am I missing something?

Yes, some mornings in Charlestown it is much more noticeable than others. Last week it woke me up several mornings in a row and now it’s gone, I’ve noticed it come and go over the last 5 years I’ve lived there.

Possibly your friend's place in Eastie had soundproofing done at some point? I know Massport does it for free for residents in the highest noise pollution areas around Logan.

It’s possible but the south end does lie directly under one of the Logan flight paths and I know personally from flying out that the planes on that path stay low over the south end, so it could just be a flight path thing.
