Yes, this is a growing problem. I do not understand why the smaller
aircraft are not equipped with mufflers. Is there some outstanding reason
for this? We really need to get some legislation in place to deal with
these issues of noise. If no one complains nothing will be done.
It is great to see some of the efforts to get the national park service
onboard with limiting noise in some areas of the parks. I hope that the
effort will grow exponentially.

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Speak Up For Silence? What silence??
I live in the mountains of western North Carolina. The highest
elevations east of the Mississippi. I knew it was beautiful here but
I also thought it was fairly quiet until I decided to record the birds
and the two brooks in back of my house. There's nothing like
attempting a little Nature recording to show you just how NOISY it is
where you thought it was quiet. Airplanes are the biggest offenders
here, both the passenger jets and the smaller one or two engine
planes. The smaller airplanes are the worst in my humble opinion as
they have very loud engines, they fly lower, and they fly slower so
they're in audible range longer.
It's a noisy world and probably will only get noisier.
