Fazer,


I've already showed you - categorically - that the number of flights before 6am passing over us is virtually no different now (either in number of flights or altitude of said flights) to what it was five years ago.



You refuse to believe the reality - even when it's dished-up to you a plate with a rose on the side.



I give up. Good luck driving yourself round the twist on this.

Over Christmas at various drink ups I asked neighbours and others have noticed there's been an increase in Aircraft Noise.


It isn't just me who's noticing the increase.


It was actually someone else who said they remembered when they heard Concord and now it's like Concord every couple of minutes !!

Ohh... Christmas drink-ups and asking the neighbours? Well why didn't you say so before?


If I'd have known you had access to such accurate and objective data - I've have thought twice before posting the silly old radar reports showing - you know - the 'actual' frequency and altitude of flights!

V Funny.

If you can't make a sensible comment then fly off.


Even if it "Jet noise" has been going on over us for years "afaic I realy doubt it has" I remember quiet Saturday and Sunday mornings in bed.

Also

I can't ever remember needing to turn up the volume on the tv to hear a program over the sound of aircraft flying overhead, now I find myself doing that so either I've developed super hearing or flights are louder or flights are now closer.

I believe Jets heathrow bound are flying lower and they're constant over East Dulwich.


We might as well be living in Richmond , Chiswick etc right next to Heathrow were experiencing just as much noise.

Fact is we're now bang on the flight path. And we're living with the constant noise from 1am to 12pm. it's only going to get worst ......

The noise has not got worse. I've lived round here since 1988 and the numbers have not increased appreciably.


Concorde was loud as a loud thing and was beautiful as it flew over. People stopped to gaze at it as it passed over.


To claim that any of the planes flying over my flat as I type is anywhere near as loud as Concorde is a fantasy.


Concorde had the same turbo-jets as the Vulcan bomber (RR Olympus) they were designed when noise was never an issue of concern. The Olympus was first run in 1950. Things have moved on a little since then noise-wise.

Concorde was unable to fly into New York initially because of noise concerns. Even when finally allowed, BA/AF had to alter the approach and speed.

Pearson, (and others) have you considered butting out of a conversation that doesn't concern you? Not sure why you feel the need to be so rudely superior to everyone who isn't as amazing as you seem to think you are.


I am bothered about this. We have two small children who regularly wake about the same time as the planes start. After we've settled them we're then kept awake by planes flying directly over our heads every couple of minutes. My wife occasionally wears earplugs, I don't as I want to be able to hear my children when they wake up. It would be nice to be able to go back to sleep after that so I can be fully effective at my high powered job and keep the British economy ticking over ... (irony)


So I'm grateful to SplendidLike Peckham for posting this link and will follow it up. That is the point of consultations after all ...

At risk of pouring petrol on flames. In the past 6 months or so I'm genuinely (seriously!) hearing roaring sounds I didn't previously (am at southern end of SE22). I don't doubt we've always been on the flight path but something has def shifted where we are- altitude/approach combo perhaps?

      Noise from Wide Awake festival

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      You are not the only one no. Local residents are fighting Lambeth through the courts over the increased use of Brockwell Pak for these types of events. And there is the GALA festival on the Rye this weekend, also unbearable at times, although it seems to be a bit quieter today. Brockwell Park is probably more complicated in terms of noise management, because the entire park is on the side of a hill. The Rye at least is sunken in a bit where they locate the festival.

      Noise from Wide Awake festival

      By ArmandHelpen1 · Posted

      We are half an hour’s walk from Brockwell park and yet the noise and bass from the festival has been relentless and unbearable all weekend. Am I the only one who thinks it’s unreasonable to cause such a nuisance over a prolonged period in a residential area?    We don’t benefit in any way from the event, and yet are expected to endure it.

      That’s great, thank you. Is it empty? Asking as if so I could carry home. Are you in this evening?
