| I know Minuteman Commons complained quite vociferously several years ago about planes being allowed to idle with engines blasting. We’re right behind the runways and it was awful! They did listen and stopped the idling. Of course that was awhile ago though I’ve not been aware they started again. We’ll definitely start complaining again! The more voices the better! ellen (trustee)

The fine is set by the FAA and they are immune to citizen’s concerns over noise, esp. at small airports like Hanscom.
But, you should still file a noise complaint…in fact, file many as that does show up in an official record.
It’s infuriating!

From what I gather the private jets pay a trivial fine of ~$500 for flying in and out late at night. I would imagine that fine could go up if enough people complained.
What bothers me the most is when they leave an airplane running with its engines blasting for 30 minutes while sitting on the ground. It’s very annoying.
Sometimes there is a very loud plane and we don’t see it on the plane app. I guessed that is an air force plane but someone please correct me if that is wrong.
What should we complain about? Are they allowed to fly at all hours? Are there limits to where they fly? I don't want to complain if that is what is expected. I agree that the amount of traffic has really increased recently, and they seem to fly at all hours of the night.

The Hanscom Airport Noise Report Line is 781-869-8050. It’s a recorded line and they take all your information and the time of the noise so they can respond and track complaints.
