Noise is one of the major issues threatening RC airfields and many other recreational activities.What you consider to be a pleasant sound from a glow engine at 17,000 rpm can be an unbearable racket for the neighbors who do not share your passion for RC flight.Part of the definition of noise is,"sound that is unwanted or undesired." There is no magic number to make everyone happy and avoid annoying or offending others.There also is not a definite dB value where everyone agrees that noise becomes a problem.Because humans are involved,there is always a certain amount of subjectivity and variability. QUALITY OF LIFE : http://www.ocregister.com/articles/planes-629552-city-members.html Paul Beckett lives less than a half mile away from the runway at Fairview Park.He said in the 30 years since moving to his home,he has mostly enjoyed the sight of small gliders gracefully floating across his skyline.However in more recent years,as the aircraft technology has shifted to more powerful electric-powered models,his tolerance for the hobby has diminished. "They drill through your brain into the walls of your life,"he said."Once you rob a person of their sanity and peace and quiet,all bets are off.It makes them crazy." "Not everyone who flies is concerned about the regulations,"Harbor Soaring Society President Jesse Calleros said."They're just here to have fun." http://www.lakecountrvcalendar.com/news/260676591.html When Dale Collins moved to Lake Country a dozen years ago,it was to get away from the hustle and bustle and noise where he lived in Kelowna.In a rural setting in Lake Country,Collins began raising chickens to sell for meat,raising up to 200 chickens a year and selling them when they reached eight weeks of age. But when the Kelowna Ogopogo Radio Controllers Association began using their model aircraft on one of his neighbors'properties three years ago, not only did his peace and quiet leave,but so too did Collins'ability to raise and sell the chickens. "I was running 200 birds a year,"said Collins,one of over 30 residents of the area that signed a 2011 petition asking the District of Lake Country to put a stop to the model aircrafts."But they are very susceptible to stress.The first year I lost 27 birds.." http://www.getsu rrev.co.u k/news/local-news/mode l-a i rcraft-noise-worse-gatwick-4720915 In Surrey,England:"Neighbours,after all,decided to move to the countryside for peace and quiet" Graham Capel,added:"1 would consider this a very intrusive and a potential continuous disturbance in this essentially rural countryside location,amounting to possibly as much as 340 days a year.The high pitch noise emitted by model aircraft travels a considerable distance. Neighbours have already voiced their concerns over the noise it would cause,one complaining the small planes cause more disturbance than real-life jet airliners taking off from nearby Gatwick Airport.
