I didn't realize it when signing but the apartment I'm staying in through Bungalow is under a flight path. There is a curfew for flights at night but that only covers departures. Airplanes can still land at any hour. It's a slow torture. I can't wait to leave San Diego.

I did a ton of research when I got my place, about the area and all its quirk. It was fine. I bought it, then 2 years later a nearby airport changed their software which modified some flight routes, and more importantly lowered the altitude planes flew over extremely densely populated areas, making them incredibly noisy. All this happened in the name of saving fuel. Now I haven't opened the windows in years, especially not at night (else its impossible to sleep), the outdoor deck is unusable except for days where planes don't actually fly over because of wind direction, etc. Starting to plan selling the place partly because of it. Fortunately a lot of people swear until they're blue in the face that this isn't happening (even though its easy to find proof), so resell value isn't affected.

  Bungalow's leasing agent told me the house had air conditioning. There was a thermostat when I toured. Upon moving in I found out the house doesn't actually have air conditioning. Closing the windows won't be an option in the summer. A lot of people say they are used to the sound and don't notice it. That's just not true though. I've sat outside at a bar and had a conversation interrupted because a plane flew overhead.

  I live on Moffett Field and the noise from the 101 is deafening and the occasional noise from a C-130 isn’t even noticeable. Freeway noise is far more disruptive than almost airplanes.

    Hearing that (no pun intended) doesn't give me hope for the new Moffett housing development, which I believe, would be even closer to 101 than Wescoat Village. https://mv-voice.com/news/2018/06/01/nasa-picks-partner-for-huge-moffett-housing-development https://mv-voice.com/news/2018/06/01/nasa-picks-partner-for-...

I lived next to an airport, and really wasn't too bothered by it. The main problem was that it would set off car alarms, and those were unbearable

The area I live was fine until the FAA allowed planes to fly lower over the mountains into/out of the local airports now I can hear them from 5AM til 2AM every day (this is the SF Bay Area so I don't have AC to drown them out). Are you going to some place with no airports? That seems to be the only solution to this sort of noise pollution.
