S. 3rd Street Louisville, 40203 April 2003 I have a complaint about some low-flying jetliners from UPS and FedEx last night and the past couple of nights. They go over the Central Park area and the downtown residential area. They go over every two or three minutes, like they are practicing a landing approach. I woke up at 2:00 a.m. and I could actually see their lights on the floor. I have noticed this for a few days now and it is UPS. It is very disturbing and like I said, it is every two minutes. I wish you could do something about it. Lauderdale Road Louisville, 40205 April 2003 Have you changed the flight patterns? I live in the Highlands and it has been incredibly noisy lately. I take my dog out at night between 9:45 p.m. and midnight, and have just recently been hearing a loud rumble. W. Saint Catherine Street Louisville, 40203 April 2003 We moved in here a few months ago and we did not have this noise. Over the past couple of weeks we have been bombarded with noise starting at about 11:30 p.m. in the evening. This is depleting the quality of our life. I want to know what has happened recently. S. 2nd Street Louisville, 40208 April 2003 The airplanes are EXTREMELY low flying, loud, and numerous today! It is so very annoying and disruptive. Why are they flying so low? Kewanna Drive Jeffersonville, 47130 April 2003 I want to know why the planes are not flying over I-65, and staying higher like the paper said and the Aldermen declared? This morning about 4:00 a.m. the planes woke me up and I did not get much sleep. Merwin Avenue Louisville, 40217 April 2003 Between about 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. this morning the plane noise kept me awake. They all seem to be UPS flights. I have to go to work in the morning and it is very hard to be productive with only 3 hours of sleep a night. Everett Avenue Louisville, 40204 April 2003 We have talked before about helicopters over the Cherokee triangle. It began at 20 minutes before 7:00 a.m. this morning, it is now 25 minutes after 7:00 and it has not stopped yet. It woke me up and now I cannot get back to sleep. I have no idea what it is doing but I could do without it. Ingle Avenue Louisville, 40206 April 2003 I'm new to the Louisville area I live in Cresent Hill area. On many occasions the noise of full throttle power engine runs have awaken me and my wife, to the point that we can't get back to sleep due to the engine noise. In every city I have lived in the airport has strict engine noise curfews. Does SDF have noise program in place? If so, why isn't it being followed? If SDF doesn't have a curfew program they need to invest in a Hush House like the one used at the Indianapolis Airport. E. Riverside Drive Jeffersonville, 47130 April 2003 Those UPS planes were flying towards the north again this morning. I guess it is because of the cold front coming in last night. Merwin Avenue Louisville, 40217 April 2003 The planes kept me up again last night. I got a ticket the other day driving down Eastern Parkway because I did not get enough sleep the night before. Gillett Avenue Louisville, 40214 April 2003 At 3:30 a.m. this morning a plane went over and shook my ceiling fan. It seems like this was worse that some of the others. Aria Drive Louisville, 40219 April 2003 I am being harassed by the construction crews. They are speeding through the streets and running stop signs. It is a green Dodge pickup truck with a toolbox in the bed. I am in the relocation area, but there is no money to move me out at this time. I live in South Park Area E. Anonymous Louisville March 2003 You are waking my baby up with your airplanes you Mother F_ _ _ _ _. F_ _ _ you, I am not going to give you my address because you are the one waking me up with your airplanes every morning. I will take a machine gun and shoot them down. |
