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.

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.

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.

The airplanes are EXTREMELY low flying, loud, and numerous today! It is so very annoying and disruptive. Why are they flying so low?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Those UPS planes were flying towards the north again this morning. I guess
it is because of the cold front coming in last night.

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.

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.

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.
