I doubt you will hear anything. Peace and quiet is nice, but honestly, where do you think the planes will go? They have to go somewhere and someone will have to hear it.

Would you rather there not be an airport within an hours drive from your home?

This is just more of the hysteria perpetuated by the media and politicians that need to appear to be doing something for their constituents. And I don't mean you.

There's an approach to EWR where the planes pass right over the toll booth at exit 13A on the turnpike... so close you can wave at the people onboard. It's STILL not noisy.

Consider this... you will only hear a plane on take off an landing when the engines are at full blast. The rest of the time, if you hear anything at all, it will be a hum.
