Stories from residents across the region.
"I work from home and I can't get through a single video call without a helicopter drowning me out. My clients in other cities think something is wrong with my connection."
Disrupts work / calls
"My kids have started asking why the sky is always so loud. My youngest is afraid to sleep with the window open in summer. This isn't normal and we shouldn't accept it."
Affects children / sleep
"We bought our home in part because of the rooftop access. Now we can barely use it — the noise is constant on weekends. These are tour helicopters. This is not an emergency service."
Can't enjoy outdoor space
"I've lived here 22 years and the past three have been unbearable. The frequency has tripled. I keep my windows shut all summer and my electric bill has gone up because of it."
Forced to keep windows shut
"As a musician who records at home, the helicopters have ruined takes and cost me hours of work. There is no compensation for this. It just keeps happening."
Disrupts work / recording
"Multiple times a day, every day. We've stopped eating dinner on the porch entirely. The noise level is genuinely shocking when you try to explain it to someone who doesn't live here."
