You can talk to the FAA and the airport about it, though it helps to get educated about how it all works and come at it from the point of view of trying to help keep everyone happy.

Start with what type of airport is it here: https://skyvector.com/

Is it Bravo (big blue circles around it, major commercial airport), Charlie (medium maroon circles, large secondary commercial), Delta (small single dark blue dashed circle, small controlled airport), or uncontrolled (no circle or dashed magenta, local GA airport)?

If it's one of the first three, see if you can find the Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) and Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs) and see where they put aircraft in relation to you and at what altitudes (underlined altitudes are minimum, overlined are maximum).

https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_... (can also find them on skyvector for your airport)

Also try to see if they've been changed lately as this is the most likely culprit.

If it's an uncontrolled airport, try talking to them about noise abatement and see if you might be able to work something out.
