I live in Downers Grove and, depending on the whether, planes would be taking off heading South over our house or landing heading West over our house. I'd notice the landing planes only when I was outside. They were low but not too noisy. However, I would always notice the ones taking off because they interferred with us watching TV. They were higher, but they were pushing the engines hard to gain altitude, and thus they were nosier.Dennis DeBrulerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992361354510209661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577633936396294153.post-40023019127904031772023-08-02T18:53:26.611-05:002023-08-02T18:53:26.611-05:00This explains why we have 2 - 3 rows of planes for...This explains why we have 2 - 3 rows of planes forming a line, hovering over lake Michigan and heading west to o'hare. The air traffic is almost non-stop from 6am to 8pm from the lake at about 6500 North. The noise is constant, not to mention the toxic jet fuel that lingers. We've lived in West Ridge Neighborhood for nearly 30 years that and this is somewhat recent. We had no notice/warning input regarding this intrusion!! We can't open our windows, are awakened early in the mornings, and hear the constant roaring of the engines as they approach, are directly above us and then just as they move past the sound of the next plane approaching is heard! IT'S SO DISTURBING!!! This traffic should be distributed more evenly. We live 40 minutes from O'hare. We never planned or dreamed that this would ever happen here! Feeling trapped and helpless!
