We live on the approach to Runway 26 at Gatwick about 20 miles from the airport. Flights come over in the Summer at about one every 2 minutes but at least they’re usually at between three and four thousand feet. They don’t worry us as we’re interested in aviation. But it’s surprising how many people make a conscious decision to move very near to Gatwick Airport then complain about the noise or about airport expansion plans. If you don’t want aircraft noise then don’t live anywhere near an airport!

Clearly air travel is going to have to massively reduced. But so us meat consumption as methan is a much more powerful at trapping heat. Going to have to cut back on milk based products, too.
Yep As a student, I spent 4 months renting in Hounslow, under the flight path. Triple glazing helps, but no fun in the garden. You get used to it, but not choose to live there.
There's quite a famous episode of 'Place in the Sun' where the couple (especially the wife) are incredibly fussy & picky, and she finds something negative to say about every room of every house they're shown. She's especially focussed on noise. Then they get shown one house that she seems to love. They go out onto the balcony. You can see her ears twitching then she says, "what's that noise?". The presenter says, "that's the sea". "No" says the wife, "it's too noisy" 🤣🤣🤣 true story

I used to live under the direct flight path into Heathrow, usually there was an incoming flight every 30 seconds, but I'm an aircraft fanatic and I loved it, I could see everything from my kitchen window. After a while I just didn't notice the noise, but it was difficult to drag myself away from the kitchen window. 😂
I live a bit further out and here at least you do just zone out. The only one you couldn’t ignore was Concorde, which made the furniture rattle, but it was only twice a day and you forgave it because it was Concorde
Concorde. It used to fly over at 6pm as I was walking home from the station. Every time I would stop walking and just gaze up at it. So beautiful, so charismatic. We lived on a hill and you could see it circling waiting for its slot to descend to the airport. I thank my lucky stars I got the chance to fly in her before she was cancelled.
Years ago I used to work terminal 1 and I remember looking up anytime and there being 6 planes coming in to land at all times apart from a gap to let concord in

I must disappoint u - they sometimes change flight path due to wind or clouds. I do not live near any path but sometimes they change and they start flying over my garden - annoys the hell out of me. Inside we can not hear them, our houses are well insulated
I had a friend, Christine, who I used to catch the bus home from school with sometimes, back in the 1970s, who lived in Myrtle Avenue. My house was about half a mile further down the road so we were far less affected by the planes coming in to land. I think she just got used to it, as I suppose you do after a while.
The houses in that area have subsidized triple glazing because of the proximity to the airport, but you still hear every plane go over. What's more, many gardens have an oily residue on the plants that grow in them, so that's another downside of living on a flight path. Despite this, house prices in Hounslow are pretty high!
That would be my idea of "hell on earth" to live there. Years back I was up there demonstrating against an extra runway - and was gobsmacked that so many people were putting up with "(trying to ) live under that".
Those homes have benefitted from extreme double glazing, heavy roof tiles and reinforced roofs plus some sound proofing installation paid for by Heathrow and the passengers. Whilst you might not enjoy your garden you are close to well paid jobs.

My uncle, Harry Ricardo, an engineer, told me that modern air craft were badly designed. He said the fuel consumption and noise level could both be cut. There you go, ‘Crap Craft’!
Hmmm, except that manufacturers in the current era go to enormous lengths to make aircraft as light as possible and turbofans that are as efficient and quiet as possible. Most if not all of the competition between Airbus and Boeing is based on small improvements in the fuel consumption per passenger mile. Also, your Uncle Harry's statement implies that vintage aircraft were quiet and fuel efficient - when in fact noise and fuel consumption were extremely low down on the list of design requirements for early airliners. In the early decades of aviation, before the 1970s oil crises, fuel was cheap and abundant, air-pollution wasn't even in people's vocabulary, and commercial aviation was so exciting that nobody cared about how noisy it was. Concorde is an early days aircraft - it was filthy, noisy and drank fuel like it was tap water. Your Uncle Harry is talking out of his ricardo.
I’d imagine that eventually you’ll get used to the noise. As I remember that I had rented an apartment right next to the train station. The first night that I slept there I thought that the train ( especially the locomotive trains), was coming through my walls it was so loud. By the time I moved from there ( about 10 years later), I could set my watch to the train schedule. The new place that I moved to was in a really quiet suburb, and for about the first month I couldn’t sleep 😴 well, because it was too quiet. 😂
I get your point but studies have shown that people living in high traffic ( ground vehicles) areas suffer from this excessive noise pollution. I mean even when I walk my dog and someone ( which is everyday) is mowing, getting construction work done, lorries passing by constantly I feel my blood pressure rise. Its not natural and we were never designed to live with these noises. Fair enough the odd plane flying over but this is just terrible.
i use to live in central london just near the station where the underground coming out to overground and from 5am the london underground went by my flat and non stop every few minutes up till 12am , i got use to the noise but them subways trains woke me up every morning
Animal agriculture causes more pollution than cars lorries, planes, trains all over the world put together so he is kind of right because the consumers are the ones buying the products and needs to be shipped all over the world
I live siuth west of london, on the approach to Heathrow. Usually, the approach doesn't go over my house, but occasionally I get this at 6 am. Arrggghhh!
I visited the beautiful Kew Gardens a couple of years ago and couldn't get over the number of planes flying overhead. Then I was told it was at the end of a runway.
If i lived in one of these houses I'd never go inside I'd be so fascinated and mesmerised with these planes but i suppose eventually it all Where's off and you go about your everyday life but still what a fantastic experience it would be ✈🛩
Went to school in SW London when Concorde was doing scheduled flights. Engines on that thing sounded like a volcanic eruption. Also remember plane spotter school mates also refer to BAC 1-11 being noisy. Planes these days sound like a whistling whisper.
I used to live near there (46 Berkely Avenue I think). This was in the days of terrestrial TV only, and the TV would go off as the planes flew over and blocked the signal. But, it's not like we didn't know there was an airport when we moved in, and we we were prepared to put up with it as the rent was comparitively low. I was a student and had a summer job measuring aircraft noise for the CAA. The loudest measurement all summer was in our back garden when I brought the kit home, as the official closest measuring point was further away from runway than our house.
I shouldn't mind living in one of them houses... Short walk to the airport every time you fly somewhere.... no need to catch a bus or a train, no need to get a taxi, no stressing about planning the whole journey etc. Great!
Looking at the houses and properties they look older buildings, so chances are we're built before Heathrow Airport, or the airport wasn't as big as it is today. Environment would have been totally different back then.
Yes you are right. I grew up in one of those houses in the 1950s. Heathrow had only just been built and life was completely different then. Family eventually moved out in 1980s. Horrendous noise. You never got used to it.
Many years ago I was at college in Windsor, about 30 miles west of Heathrow airport. The lessons had to stop for one minute in every ten when the planes went over because you couldn’t hear the teacher.
Thanks for the video, reminiscent to me. Most of the hotel rooms in heathrow area r equipped with double glazing windows. There's always this option for the houses in the area there. As a former flight crew , i stayed in the area there for years n i'm used to the sounds of aircrafts there. When someone works there he will adapt to the noise with time so far.
Stayed at my daughters house in SW London 4 years ago. Nearly shat myself a few times. Some locals i spoke to reckoned theyd got used to it. Hailing from a rural part of England id never get used to it. Quite appauling the noise and pollution.
i’d do a lot of work in the Sw area of fulham and do be sitting on the roof looking at them , they do be low going over that area as well on approach to land
I used to live in Hong Kong early 80’s. My school was under thé flight path of Kai tak. You could see the nuts and bolts of the undercarriage if we were outside. You sort of get used to it. Those houses will be much cheaper than in thé rest of the area but many of them will be triple glazed and insulated in the attic so noise inside will be less. It’s just the garden area that will be annoying but most people there will be out most of the time anyway, working to save up to get somewhere quieter!
Another anecdote. Some future singer-songwriter entered for an in-school song contest (not sure if it's the school you're talking about). Noise from planes flying in and out of Kai Tak threw her off mid performance.
It's like that almost everywhere in the approach path to Heathrow in the southwest. We once stayed at a hotel in Putney for a week and by 05:30am, the night was over 😂.
I coild live there and just plane spot all day, especially a380s, absolutely majestic planes 🥰🥰🥰 some close up views for go arounds in storms as well....
Too close and loud for comfort. Some of those planes look like they're about to knock the chimneys off with the landing gear. On the plus side you'll never be late getting to the airport.
If someone moves next to or near an airport or factory farm etc that is already in existence than they should never have a right to complain just move.
Once lived so close to an airport...that when i got up to go get a snack..the flight attendant told me to get back in my seat and buckle up for landing 😂
I just went to see a house in Isleworth this weekend. Lovely house, lovely price. I why. These things went directly over the roof. And that's out by Richmond way, not as close as this.
You’d be amazed how many do that. It’s the same at Gatwick - people make a conscious decision to move to a village near the airport (e.g. Charlwood) then complain about the airport noise or about expansion plans. Airports rarely get smaller - do they not factor that in when they move there?
I’ve lived in places right next to train tracks. Eventually you hardly notice any noise from the trains. Occasionally one has a loud honking horn which might cause a fright but honestly it’s easy to become accustomed to the noise and vibrations.
i use to live beside a bridge where the piccadilly and district line tube (subway) use to go across every minute and i got use to it too and that was noisy when i first moved in.
i was the same when i lived in ireland i was so far away from the airport and no public transport to get to the airport like in london, im like a few stops away on the tube to this location.
It's was a nightmare at first, i used to live in Hayes, literally 15 mins from Heathrow. It was in a flight path, and I could read the numbers, etc, on the bottom of the plain if i looked or went outside. To be honest, you do get used to it. Little shake of the house, but it is not bad after a while. You really do get used to it.
Every aviation enthusiast's dream come true. You can see one flight literally every 50 seconds. I could sit there all day watching and not get bored. Although get polluted 😂. I guess better than chemtrails 😅. Always find planes fascinating especially when so low. ✈️

Most if not all of the competition between Airbus and Boeing is based on small improvements in the fuel consumption per passenger mile.
Also, your Uncle Harry's statement implies that vintage aircraft were quiet and fuel efficient - when in fact noise and fuel consumption were extremely low down on the list of design requirements for early airliners. In the early decades of aviation, before the 1970s oil crises, fuel was cheap and abundant, air-pollution wasn't even in people's vocabulary, and commercial aviation was so exciting that nobody cared about how noisy it was.
Concorde is an early days aircraft - it was filthy, noisy and drank fuel like it was tap water. Your Uncle Harry is talking out of his ricardo.

Who's Hairy Ricardo?
I’d imagine that eventually you’ll get used to the noise. As I remember that I had rented an apartment right next to the train station. The first night that I slept there I thought that the train ( especially the locomotive trains), was coming through my walls it was so loud. By the time I moved from there ( about 10 years later), I could set my watch to the train schedule. The new place that I moved to was in a really quiet suburb, and for about the first month I couldn’t sleep 😴 well, because it was too quiet. 😂
I get your point but studies have shown that people living in high traffic ( ground vehicles) areas suffer from this excessive noise pollution. I mean even when I walk my dog and someone ( which is everyday) is mowing, getting construction work done, lorries passing by constantly I feel my blood pressure rise. Its not natural and we were never designed to live with these noises. Fair enough the odd plane flying over but this is just terrible.
i use to live in central london just near the station where the underground coming out to overground and from 5am the london underground went by my flat and non stop every few minutes up till 12am , i got use to the noise but them subways trains woke me up every morning
I live in Wimbledon, its fine there. However, u get to next town, Kingston, and strangely, planes are lower
Those planes nearly touch the tops of the houses,scary!!!
And Khan blames the motorists for all the pollution
Anyone who kisses a rug five times a day shouldn’t be taken seriously!
Animal agriculture causes more pollution than cars lorries, planes, trains all over the world put together so he is kind of right because the consumers are the ones buying the products and needs to be shipped all over the world
I think you've got confused with the popes doing the kissing the ground stuff. Religions are all the same though tbh @@Henricus.

I love this sounds. I love plane spotting. Is there some houses for sale? How much?
Did you forget it's in London
about 450 to 5 hundred k they go for .
Oh my good gravy! That's scary as he'll!
The majority of people knew there was a airport there when they bought the houses
Horrifying. OMG. 🇬🇧
I live siuth west of london, on the approach to Heathrow. Usually, the approach doesn't go over my house, but occasionally I get this at 6 am. Arrggghhh!
I visited the beautiful Kew Gardens a couple of years ago and couldn't get over the number of planes flying overhead. Then I was told it was at the end of a runway.
Yeah kew is on the approaching to Heathrow airport, it’s about 4 miles away from the airport
If i lived in one of these houses I'd never go inside I'd be so fascinated and mesmerised with these planes but i suppose eventually it all Where's off and you go about your everyday life but still what a fantastic experience it would be ✈🛩
If i lived there id be sitting on top of the roof with me camera
Went to school in SW London when Concorde was doing scheduled flights. Engines on that thing sounded like a volcanic eruption. Also remember plane spotter school mates also refer to BAC 1-11 being noisy. Planes these days sound like a whistling whisper.
I'd love to live here, I'd never be late for work
I wonder what that sounds like from inside any of those houses.
i live a few miles down the road and even flight over my house there loud so i wrecking the houses here are rocking.
I used to live near there (46 Berkely Avenue I think). This was in the days of terrestrial TV only, and the TV would go off as the planes flew over and blocked the signal.
But, it's not like we didn't know there was an airport when we moved in, and we we were prepared to put up with it as the rent was comparitively low.
I was a student and had a summer job measuring aircraft noise for the CAA. The loudest measurement all summer was in our back garden when I brought the kit home, as the official closest measuring point was further away from runway than our house.
Loved the comment about the TV! 🙏🏻😂
ah that would piss me off when watching the football
Did ye aye?
I shouldn't mind living in one of them houses... Short walk to the airport every time you fly somewhere.... no need to catch a bus or a train, no need to get a taxi, no stressing about planning the whole journey etc. Great!
i live 5 stops away on the tube from the airport so it’s handy for when i go plane spotting
Looking at the houses and properties they look older buildings, so chances are we're built before Heathrow Airport, or the airport wasn't as big as it is today. Environment would have been totally different back then.
Yes you are right. I grew up in one of those houses in the 1950s. Heathrow had only just been built and life was completely different then. Family eventually moved out in 1980s. Horrendous noise. You never got used to it.
Many years ago I was at college in Windsor, about 30 miles west of Heathrow airport. The lessons had to stop for one minute in every ten when the planes went over because you couldn’t hear the teacher.
Yeah they still fly in by window every few weeks when they swap runways
Omg, I couldn’t cope with that, sorry!
Thanks for the video, reminiscent to me. Most of the hotel rooms in heathrow area r equipped with double glazing windows. There's always this option for the houses in the area there. As a former flight crew , i stayed in the area there for years n i'm used to the sounds of aircrafts there. When someone works there he will adapt to the noise with time so far.
did you stay in one of them houses
Those people bought those houses knowing the airport was there so if they don’t like it they only have themselves to blame
I think most of the people in these houses are renting these properties.
It would be funny if the estate agents get people to do viewings when the planes are not landing over myrtle Avenue (I heard there is a schedule).
Stayed at my daughters house in SW London 4 years ago. Nearly shat myself a few times. Some locals i spoke to reckoned theyd got used to it. Hailing from a rural part of England id never get used to it. Quite appauling the noise and pollution.
i’d do a lot of work in the Sw area of fulham and do be sitting on the roof looking at them , they do be low going over that area as well on approach to land
I used to live in Hong Kong early 80’s. My school was under thé flight path of Kai tak. You could see the nuts and bolts of the undercarriage if we were outside. You sort of get used to it. Those houses will be much cheaper than in thé rest of the area but many of them will be triple glazed and insulated in the attic so noise inside will be less. It’s just the garden area that will be annoying but most people there will be out most of the time anyway, working to save up to get somewhere quieter!
Another anecdote. Some future singer-songwriter entered for an in-school song contest (not sure if it's the school you're talking about). Noise from planes flying in and out of Kai Tak threw her off mid performance.
It's like that almost everywhere in the approach path to Heathrow in the southwest. We once stayed at a hotel in Putney for a week and by 05:30am, the night was over 😂.
yeah that so true , that’s the flight path to heathrow
I’m having palpitations watching behind the screen, this is scary.
🤣🤣
I coild live there and just plane spot all day, especially a380s, absolutely majestic planes 🥰🥰🥰 some close up views for go arounds in storms as well....
yea winter is crazy there
I'd love that, amazing 😊
All that brake fluid squirting around you no thanks
I would love to live in that road! How exciting. ❤️
Too close and loud for comfort. Some of those planes look like they're about to knock the chimneys off with the landing gear. On the plus side you'll never be late getting to the airport.
or late for work
I would have a big problem with this as I would be spending so much time taking photos of the planes 😂😂
That’s what happened me , had no interest whatsoever in planes on till i moved to london and these planes fly over my house
If someone moves next to or near an airport or factory farm etc that is already in existence than they should never have a right to complain just move.
Well sometimes they just expand are make a new runway, this happened in Dublin
I lived in Hounslow and it’s bloody awful. You can nearly see the passengers at the window!
I stayed at the Ibis Budget on Bath Road recently and I thought the planes were going to come through my window. I had to keep the curtains drawn 🙃
Omg 😮
😊
@@MatthewSmith-j1l No way, I'm working at this hotel
@@user.xpired That whole street is so noisy, the planes are coming in something like one a minute
pollution, pollution, pollution 😡
love it
People taking vacations, travelling for work, visiting friends and family.
@@jonathanandrew2909 love it the sound of $$$$$$
Once lived so close to an airport...that when i got up to go get a snack..the flight attendant told me to get back in my seat and buckle up for landing 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
How do you sleep through that??
No. Poor people. How can it be.
I just went to see a house in Isleworth this weekend. Lovely house, lovely price. I why. These things went directly over the roof. And that's out by Richmond way, not as close as this.
Yeah i go to selco in isleworth to buy building materials for work and the flight path is over isleworth.
Wow 😳 amazing 🛫✈️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🛫✈️🛫
🤙
So you purchase a house near the busiest airport in Europe
And then complain 😂
🤣🤣
Exactly
You’d be amazed how many do that. It’s the same at Gatwick - people make a conscious decision to move to a village near the airport (e.g. Charlwood) then complain about the airport noise or about expansion plans. Airports rarely get smaller - do they not factor that in when they move there?
I will never complain about the dog snoring ever again
🤣😂
And people got their windows open too.
Imagine it gets old quickly, but I'd love to live there!
I shifted recently and didn't realize I was near the Airport
I just love it
What airport you near.
@@deborahbain9915 what area is that
I’ve lived in places right next to train tracks. Eventually you hardly notice any noise from the trains. Occasionally one has a loud honking horn which might cause a fright but honestly it’s easy to become accustomed to the noise and vibrations.
i use to live beside a bridge where the piccadilly and district line tube (subway) use to go across every minute and i got use to it too and that was noisy when i first moved in.
@@jetstreamuk exactly. One adapts to chaos
Imagine trying to get “ an early nights sleep “ 😮🤨🤬
Yeah it definitely be ear plugs in the ears
@@jetstreamuk One positive, at least the resident's would not pay a large taxi fair returning from holidays 🤣🤑🙉🙊
I would love to live here!!!!!!!
My nephew would love it, don't think my sister and brither in law would to keen though
The first thing an estate agent will tell you ,if you are buying a house here,is remember to turn off the landing light when you get downstairs.
😂😂
I love aeroplanes ✈️ ❤
I can listen to, and watch them, all day 😊
@@CarolCreates Have a life,lol
@@niibarnor546 I do thanks.
I don’t sit around trolling. Maybe you should take your own advice 😉
Oh my God, the planes are too low!?😮
Those that complain knew the airport was there,so why move there,plus,I bet they catch a plane to go on holiday!
Be handy to live beside when going on holiday
another great video thank you
Residents shouldn't be allowed to be so close to the plane. It's a security threat.
You are so lucky...we live 3 hrs from a airport...so when we land we have 3hrs drive to get home....
i was the same when i lived in ireland i was so far away from the airport and no public transport to get to the airport like in london, im like a few stops away on the tube to this location.
No way would I live there.!!!😮
Only third world people do so doesn’t matter
Good urban planning. Ear plug sales must be good in that area.
😂
A plane-spotters dream.
yeah it’s a good stop
That’s insane! I live near an military airbase and I can’t stand those and it’s not constant! Really feel for those people! That’s stressful, PTSD!
Stop calling EVERYTHING PTSD. It's incredibly insulting to true sufferers .
The airport should offer to buy these homes to house their staff.
There is 30 houses on that road it would cost of 30 million to buy all them houses
It's was a nightmare at first, i used to live in Hayes, literally 15 mins from Heathrow. It was in a flight path, and I could read the numbers, etc, on the bottom of the plain if i looked or went outside. To be honest, you do get used to it. Little shake of the house, but it is not bad after a while. You really do get used to it.
Every aviation enthusiast's dream come true. You can see one flight literally every 50 seconds. I could sit there all day watching and not get bored. Although get polluted 😂. I guess better than chemtrails 😅. Always find planes fascinating especially when so low. ✈️
Some lads do sit there for like all day and them move around to the other runway when they change at 3pm
