"... while checking out the aircraft noise effect of the 3rd I discounted big 4 engine things as not relevant..." Jeff, You were really setting yourself up to be annoyed by the noise by needing to concentrate on the source. It's a little like a dripping tap - excrutiating when you are listening for it but easily ignored when you're busy doing something else. This is a well known effect in acoustics research when trying to determine noise annoyance in a simulated environment - you can't just sit someone down in a chair by some speakers and ask them how annoyed they feel. It might be worth heading over to Battersea Park with a newspaper to best work out your tolerance to plane noise. |
