I need more than just earplugs!
About 9am today, very low flying jets rattled our windows. Poking our heads out, we saw about 6 fighter jets in formation. What's going on? Turns out that these are part of "Fleet Week", which I understand to be some festival of sailors, so obviously an air show is needed!
Anyway, it's been very loud. Luckily it only happens once an hour or so - some very low flying aircraft go by above the Hudson River. Usually I love being so close to the river, but today, I'm not so sure! There seems to be a regular, commercial plane, and several rather tiny military aircraft. And they're flying very close together! Eep!
On the topic of loudness which rattles our windows, every few days helicopters come by and it's impossibly loud! We thought the ONE police helicopter in Edmonton was annoying! It seems that everyone here has a helicopter. A few days ago, there was a collision on the Henry Hudson Highway, which is between us and the river. A helicopter spent about an hour hovering in the trees.
Although these flying things are annoyingly loud, they won't push me over the edge. What will, however, push me to irrational violence is that bloody ice cream truck that parks at least once a day by the playground outside our window and BLASTS AN OBNOXIOUS TINNY MELODY AD NAUSEUM! GAAAH!
Someone, please help me!
