Not really. Buying near an airport requires explicit acknowledgement that you're doing it and that's why homeowners don't really have a leg to stand on when they complain to their local government. IIRC last time I looked at a home near a bunch of transmitters, there was no such disclosure required.
- wahern 7y agoOh, people complain about airport noise all the time. You even hear about it in the news: so-and-so investigating 10,000 complaints about noise. Interestingly (though in retrospect unsurprisingly), the vast majority of complaints come from a very small handful of squeaky wheels. For example, of 8,760 complaints about DCA, 1 home was responsible for 78% of them!

Disclaimers notwithstanding, noise abatement requirements continue to become stricter and stricter across the U.S.
