It's causing pain, not mere discomfort or annoyance. And this is true of any noise at those sound pressures. Those people are developing PTSD (if not already suffering from it) and losing their hearing, along with experiencing whatever other adverse health effects loud noise exposure will cause. Noise pollution from jets and helicopters are harmful, as well as from single engine planes, but also two stroke engines (the dreaded chainsaws and leaf blowers), diesel trucks and buses, backup alarms, Harleys, any sound over 70dB is going to eventually cause permanent hearing damage, and given enough exposure, permanent brain damage. 150dB bursts eardrums, and 185dB literally kills as in dead. If you ever hear natural silence, enjoy it and cherish it.
