I hope not mainly because where I live in south-eastern Canada we seem to be the tailpipe of North America. All aircraft heading east seem to go over my region.

The summer in non-pandemic times) is a constant parade of large passenger jets flying over. The jets are high up and in the evening you hear the rumble as the aircraft highlighted by the sun fly over while the ground is in evening shadows.
Even a dozen US military Osprey aircraft fly over a few weeks ago.
I wouldn't want a dozen large supersonic passenger aircraft going over all the time.
- cameronh90 5y agoDo you live in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick? That seems to be where flights from NE USA to Europe fly over generally. That said they should be at cruising altitude by there. If you can hear them at 36k feet, it must be fairly quiet where you live! I live close to the path of the Heathrow approach, and planes tend to fly over me at about 5k feet, and I have to say that it's pretty rare I even hear them.
- dghughes 5y agoYou're close, I'm in Prince Edward Island. Yes it's pretty quiet here even in the largest town. Often I can hear the jets at night from inside my house. That's if there isn't any wind.
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoFortunately there are no night flights to and from the airport here. Nonetheless, depending on weather I can hear them, mostly from/to Paris, France from/to many destinations in Asia, mostly China. They all cross over here, apparently.
