    Interesting - scientific report based on long term study & evaluation of over a million people living near airports including Berlin, Frankfurt, Berne in Switzerland & others - long term affects of airport noise exposute included depression, stress, developmental delays in childrens learning and cardiovascular problems - wouldn't have guessed the last one.

    Study may be flawed - did they allow for the people that buy a house beside an airport and then spend their lives whining about the noise ?

    Exactly, it could be the constant dull drone of the person they live with complaining about the background noise that effected them.

    largely due to fundamentally flawed economic principles such as free market economics, some simply cannot afford to live in the most ideal places. unfortunately some people simply have to make sacrifices that place them in areas which are less than ideal. these people have the right to protest for their peace of mind.

    Yeah big sacrifices made by those poor folk living in Portmarnock and Howth. Poor souls forced to settle for what they could afford.

    id say most of them are indebted to their eyeballs, just like everybody else

    I moved years ago to countryside under Cork airport approach... I hated the traffic noise and house alarms of the city... but the spooling sound of a CF56 on an early summers morning turns me on!

    The Cork to Amsterdam Aer Lingus route was my wake up call for years...

    Oh and the feathering of the props on a summers evening during lineup... I'm sweating thinking about it.. ha ha ha..

    I live under an occasional flight path, you can notice when it's being used but not too bad usually. Always thought the stories of the noise were a bit exaggerated.

    About two weeks ago though it was really bad through the night, I was actually surprised at how loud it was and that it woke me up. Went into work the next day and a couple of my colleagues who live near me thought the same. If it was like that every night I'd understand the complaints tbh.

    I live under the flightpath for Shannon - London & mainland Europe. It doesn't bother me in the slightest, you get used to it. Not so long ago Shannon was very quiet compared to when I was growing up, but now that it's getting more flights, I'm used to it again. It's almost comforting.

    The only time I thought the roof was going to come off was when the Antonov 225 was still ascending over my house en route to France. Given how rarely it stops off in Ireland, the excitement of seeing it should outweigh the noise!:D

    What's that got to do with your original point?

    You know the one about flawed economic models and people being forced to choose living in non ideal areas under flight paths.. Yet oddly Portmarnock and Howth remain some of the most desirable locations to live in county Dublin...

    Much cheaper places to live in Dublin. And places not under flight paths too.

    Who drives at 30kph?

    Noise 30km from the airport Might be something to do with the new Point merge system and continuous descent at 3 degrees that was introduced in April 2015 by the IAA
