New flight paths lead to airplane noise complaints across US

In this Sept. 28, 2017, photo, Twila Lake pauses while talking during an interview as the noise from a passenger plane taking off from the Phoenix airport flies near her home in Phoenix. The Federal Aviation Administration is redesigning flight procedures at airports around the U.S. under a program known as “NextGen” to streamline routes for fuel efficiency. But the new airplane routes have prompted noise complaints from San Diego to New York. Airliners began flying over Lakes house in a historic district three years ago, taking off every one to two minutes from the Phoenix airport and roaring over her neighborhood. (AP Photo/Ross D.
