Flight path experiences

Hello. Not sure which thread to put this on but have just heard a story about a family who have rented a property under the Heathrow flight path who are planning on moving after one week there as they can't handle the noise at 5.30am.

We are moving to under the flight path later this year and we are fully aware that there are a lot of flights and that they are quite low and loud but everyone we had spoken to had said they get used to it / don't notice it anymore etc. Including a relative who lives in the area, although slightly less under than we would be.

Is it really that terrible?? I would have thought if it was, that the properties prices in SW London would be less rather than more. Surely the benefits of lovely outdoor space - Richmond PArk, Kew, Wetlands etc outweighs the flight issues.

Please reassure me!!!!

I lived in H'smith/Shep's Bush for a bit and you noticed it to start with but then got used to it part of the London drone imho

BIL/SIL lived in Isleworth and I remember one (rather dull) BBQ in their garden where FIL just reeled off all the names of the airlines as the planes landed every 10 mins - you could all but see the people's faces looking out of the window as they came past and you had to stop talking for about a minute every 10 mins or so.

I'm near Stanstead now and can hear one droning in the background now but again you just get used to it.
