Aircraft Noise over Clonatrf area

-Also posted in Commuting & Transport section-

I was woken up this morning at 6.30 by airplanes passing over my house in Clontarf. The passage of airplanes has been intense since then (one every 30 seconds) and it's still going on at time of posting this thread (9.30am).

Has anybody noticed the issue? and does anybody know why this is happening? I have been living in Clontarf for the past 5 years and this is the first time that disruption caused by aircraft noise has been so intense and early in the morning.

The only bit of information I could find goes back to February 2009:

Aircraft are probably using RWY16 which could take them over the Clontarf/Sutton area.

Winds from the South or maybe maintenance on 10/28.

Not a lot you can do

......you certainly are an expert in Airport runways....do you work there?....anyway thanks for the information.....somebody just told me that there was an article in the paper about runway maintenance until February.....so I guess I will have to be patient until then........

Yep it's the morning rush hour you're experiencing. Just be glad the main runway is 10/28.

Asphalt laid on 28 didn't harden in time for the morning rush. This was due to heavy rain all night and morning. Wind however favoured 16 till 10.00am

Maybe you have been sleeping more heavily for the last five years, as this is far from the first time this runway has been intensively used during this period. I say this as someone who also lives under the runway 16 departure/34 arrivals path, which has been used after 2200 on week-nights for the past number of weeks.

This NOTAM has more details of the works currently under way:

I grew up in Portmarnock. It's pretty close to the extended centre-line for 10/28, yet I rarely ever noticed departing a/c on 10. OK, they were audible, but you get used to it. And since FR got rid of the 737-200's it's been a lot quieter. There was more noise from the NIMBY brigade who were complaining about the propsed 10L/28R...

As for flights going overhead every 30 seconds - can 16 handle that volume of movements? I always thought 28 had a capacity of around 40 a/c movements per hour (might be wrong of course).
