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.

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.
