Idk why, but this is the first place I think of when I see these types of posts. And I’ve never even been there!

I'd assume it would be no worse than living right along i95 though, but that's certainly not good either. Difference is planes aren't going to become electric anytime soon.

Yeah, voir dire is obviously highly biased considering the fact that Neronha was gunning for him and they were able to get a mix of jurors.
Or do you think the entire jury was rigged from the get go?

You mean a jury of highly selection biased peremptory dross, as is always the case with cop trials.

If you have young children or planning on having children, it’s not ideal.
“After Munich moved its airport in 1992, scores on reading and memory tests went up near the old airport and down near the new one, a recently published study reports.”
Lol this is an old article but something I read about before.
And there’s this:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3230438/
“We estimated a significant association between potential exposure to lead emissions from avgas and blood lead levels in children. Although the estimated increase was not especially large, the results of this study are nonetheless directly relevant to the policy debate surrounding the regulation of leaded avgas.”

I have a friend who actually sold his place and left Warwick bc of the airplane noise and increase in air traffic. He lived near divine Italian restaurant. We’d be sitting in his yard and you had to pause your conversation when a plane flew over. He’s lived there for over 5 years before it got out of hand.

Wikipedia says:
“noise can cause hearing impairment, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, annoyance, sleep disturbance, and decreased school performance.”
You don’t want that.

Lol, Little Compton folks would be highly insulted. That town really is a hidden jem.

Grew up near Hoxie Four, now living by Sand Pond. I could not tell you how often they pass by. Adapted to tuning the planes out completely.

Thanks! I’m from New Hampshire so I’m not that familiar with the area.

It's in Tiverton. Pretty popular spot, especially when it's nice out.

I second Guisto! My husband and I went there on our anniversary trip, and it was wonderful.

I lived over there and it’s not great. Between noise pollution and the ever present metallic smell in the air it kinda sucks. Also I was sick more often 100%. Cars also get a ton of iron deposits on them from the fuel.

grew up there, you get used to it and after a certain point when you do notice it it feels comforting

Same. Although the radar does effect the area if you are sensitive to it.

Lived near the warwick public library most of my life so it doesn't bother me much. like other stated it's a low thundery sound. If I have the windows open and the TV on if it's a busy day at the airport I turn the volume up a few notches. I have to say it's nothing like when I would visit my grandparents condo on Rt 1 or my BFs house in appanoag hearing the trains go by, shaking the building, the whistling, ooof I'll take the airport any day over trains.
