Extract:

Heathrow received more than 25,000 noise complaints in just three months
over the summer - but around half were made by the same 10 people.

The airport, which was last month had plans for a third runway given
Government approval, received, on average, 274 complaints each day between
the start of July and end of September, according to official statistics.

However, its figures also show that, while 1,209 people complained just
once about the noise from aircraft passing overhead, three people
contacted
the airport more than 1,280 times each - or nearly 14 times a day over
three months.

Eh!

you move next to an airport

You know it's going to be noisy

So wtf is going to bother complaining *to* the airport about it, other than
some serial complainer?

If you are a normal person minded to want to do something to try and make
the environment quieter, sending a letter to the airport is going to the the
last of your choices.

So, whatever the rights and wrongs for airport noise is, IMHO this statistic
is completely worthless as part of the argument
