This Damn Plane

[josf3]

This damn plane has been flying over my house for the last three days. All night long and all day long. Literally. It is so annoying and loud. At the same time I'm worried if it is doing damage to my ears. How many decibels do you think it is??

If you're indoors, probably not loud enough. You could try one of those apps on your phone that measure dB. They're not 100% accurate but can at least give an estimate.

You're fine. Unless your house has no roof, and he's literally hovering over you, there's no issue.

I am indoors but it still sounds very loud. I cant even sleep because it literally keeps circling around my neighborhood and I am also worried that when I do end up falling asleep that its gonna be causing damage to my ears everytime it passes.

thats what I was thinking but man it sounds really loud

Without being there there's no way of knowing how loud it is, but I'm fairly certain it won't damage your ears. If you're indoors and he's circling I'd guess it's around 70db if you think it's loud. It would have to be right on top of you to be much louder.

Do you know why this plane is hovering around your neighbourhood, especially at night? Isn't there any authority you can complain about it too? I'm sure other people nearby find it annoying too.

Omg this thing is driving me crazy. I have been awake for 5 hours and it has literally passed by 50 times. My poor ears. I can complain but I honestly am just gonna wait it out hoping it will stop. I have no idea why this is happening and its funny cause I just recently got T about a week ago.

I recently moved out into the country to get away from airports. I clocked overhead planes at up to 85 db... but I lived two miles from the airport.

As someone else suggested, get a decibel meter app and see how loud it truly is. It's probably well within the safe zone. If it bothers you that much wear ear plugs.
