Oh, people complain about airport noise all the time. You even hear about it in the news: so-and-so investigating 10,000 complaints about noise. Interestingly (though in retrospect unsurprisingly), the vast majority of complaints come from a very small handful of squeaky wheels. For example, of 8,760 complaints about DCA, 1 home was responsible for 78% of them! Source: https://www.mercatus.org/system/files/dourado-airport-noise-...

Disclaimers notwithstanding, noise abatement requirements continue to become stricter and stricter across the U.S.
