[f35throwaway]

My house is pretty quiet, except on occasion a jet or two flies overhead at around 1000 feet. They used to fly the FA-18, but have recently transitioned to the F-35. I believe, from personal experience, that the F-35 is quite a bit louder. I've seen inconsistent reports on the web though.

They're doing construction on a bunch of new houses closer to the base. The planes fly lower than 1000 feet there. Part of the new development's area is deemed uninhabitable because of the bases noise study. So they put commercial developments (restaurants, shops, etc.) in that area.

I don't want to sound like a NIMBY, and I think building housing is more important, but it was interesting seeing how sound studies and regulation works. Also looking to see if the future residents will be complaining about the noise.
