Try living under the Heathrow flightpath before you complain about City airport.

You can always find a worse situation, but that does not invalidate the concerns regarding the original situation.

The Heathrow flight paths cover most of London. http://your.heathrow.com/under-the-flight-path-reducing-nois...

Do you actually live near London City Airport? I live a mile away from there and the noise level over here in Woolwich is negligible. Perhaps we're not under the flight path.

I used to live in the flight path of another airport but even there the noise from road traffic was orders of magnitude worse than any noise from air traffic.

That said, I don't doubt that some people are badly affected.
