Flight paths aren’t always static. Neither are the volumes of traffic using a given path, or the times of day when planes are flying on particular paths.
Aircraft noise is a mild annoyance when you have occasional flights during the day, but becomes life-ruiningly bad when you have departing 747s and A380s making turns over your house every few minutes at around midnight. Despite living more than 15 miles from the airport in an area of London that wasn’t previously known for aircraft noise.
In my case I was renting and could move, but if you were stuck with a house you owned (and couldn’t easily sell) it would be an awful situation to be in.
