In the latest installment of our monthly Sound Off series, we examine noise from airplanes and helicopters. New flight patterns over some New York neighborhoods have generated complaints from residents. Joining us today to discuss aircraft noise is Arline Bronzaft, chair of the noise committee of the Mayor’s Council on the Environment. Also with us is Tony Bongiovi, a sound engineer, record producer and long-time pilot of a Twin Comanche.

Tell us: Is your life affected by noise from air traffic? Are you hearing more or less noise lately? Leave a comment -- we might read yours during today's show.
