I was just getting ready to send you an update on the noise. Last night there were 5 planes between 11:30 PM and Midnight. Between Midnight and 12:45
I only recall 5. And, most of them were not the "wheels on the roof" variety. So, I was optimistic that some improvement is being made.

The noise report for May 1st is 9 planes between 11:25PM and midnight; 2 between midnight and 1:00AM. Two of the planes that crossed our roof around midnight were "screamers"--very high pitched trailing engine noise.
Moving them just an eighth of a mile to the east would probably help a lot.

It is 10 minutes after midnight and you people have awoken me with your d__n airplane noise, AGAIN! Your airplane noise is so loud that even with my windows closed, it is louder than my TV (which I have now turned on since I am awake).

Planes are turning east at Mt. Washington and Synder freeway and Preston highway for the last 2 months. They are starting to turn too soon.

Last Wed, Thur, and Fri, she could hardly get any sleep. Wants to know how you can apply for aid towards sound proofing or mitigation.

Noise was really bad last night. Our windows vibrate when the planes go over. Is there any program for sound proofing or insulation?

At about 7:15 p.m. a small high wing aircraft, white with a red stripe flew between 100' and 150' over his house. This plane has done this before I think it is a training flight. The pilot shuts his engine off at about 1000' and restarts it.

Date of noise event was 29 May. Airport appeared to be in north flow all evening, sending the loudest operations over the most populated areas of the community. I had only limited opportunities to check, but here are a few characteristic on-field conditions reported during these operations, on a dry and clear spring day:

The first reading is at least close to the over-seven-knots criterion, the rest not close. Additional vigilance welcome.
