BTW - a little perspective here.. everytime the FAA wants to change the flight path to/from EWR even slightly there's a major uproar from the communities who think they'll be affected.
I'm now about 30 miles from EWR and I can see the planes on approach to EWR either on the coastal approach or the inland approach and they're pretty high up and I don't hear anything. But when it was changed there was a similar uproar in the community.
Every now and then I'll hear a low hum, and that's when I know there's "weather" and the planes are flying directly overhead
