Depends, looks like small planes, and even if 10 come and go everyday you would quickly stop hearing them at all (the brain is very good at ignoring useless stimuli)
Eh, if you're living in a air park like that one, chances are you're a planespotter or an aircraft owner/pilot yourself, I'll wager the sound is music to those guys ears. I certainly doubt anyone will complane, I mean they should know exactly what they signed up for.
Get some good speakers. Install an ad blocker (for now) and play “Air conditioner sound, 10 hours” on YouTube. It won’t annoy your neighbors, you can just say, “it’s muh humidifier” if anyone asks, but they probably won’t. Barking dog? Not in your bedroom. Vacuum cleaner? Nope, won’t hear it.
And you’ll get to where you can’t sleep without it.
There are also open source white noise generators that have no ads to begin with, don't need internet, and are more energy efficient due to not having to process a video stream. They also let you customize the frequencies in the noise!
I work at an airport. Cessnas and other small prop planes are perfectly fine and I think they are quieter than a harley for example. I bet those planes are the vast majority of planes flown in that pic of the neighborhood.
Once you put jets on things it can get annoying. Even small business jets are pretty loud for their size, not to mention commercial airliners coming and going.
Not sure if there is a misunderstanding but I'm agreeing with you
When I say the brain processes it, it means it does take some work and energy, although it might not bring it up to your conscious perception for you to react
See, there are some weird types like me who actually like the smell of 100LL, and don't mind plane noise. I'd live there. But yeah, it's definitely not for everyone.
Small airports like these really don't smell like much. Sure: the fueling area, hangers, and maintenance shops have a smell, but it's non existent as soon as you're 50 feet away from them.
What is fucked up is how much leaded fuel gets dumped on the ground. Part of the pre-flight check for planes is taking a sample of gas from the lowest point in the tanks (the "sump") to make sure there's no water in it. It's usually done with a tool like this one. A lot of pilots just toss the fuel sample on the ground rather than "dispose" of it properly.
