JUNE 2008 TCCA Monthly Noise Comments Page 1 of 83 03/06/2008 4:00:00 PM M-07 Bathurst/Queen's Quay Area Type of Comment: Noise Presence Noise + Presence This airport noise complaint form is difficult to use. If I send a complaint every time there s excessive airport noise, I ll be sending you five or ten complaints a day. Is that what you want us to do - send ten complaints a day?
Where do we start, perhaps with the unnecessarily loud ferry foghorn early in the morning and late at night, especially on Sundays when there s no fog.
The aircraft two minute warm-ups on the ground are seriously disruptive in our homes, and the stench of aircraft fuel in the Music Garden is sickening. I ve vomited twice already when gagging on aircraft fuel fumes in the Music Garden.
And then there s the noise of helicopters that wake us up after midnight. This is one noisy fucking airport and I really resent the fact that you re in my neighborhood, especially when our sleep is interrupted all night long by aircraft noises.
So, what was the time of the incident? Which incident, there are so many. I m hearing aircraft noise right now at 4 in the afternoon, and it s the same every hour. But I don t think the Port Authority cares about our personal problems, so what s the use of filling out complaint forms. Aircraft Category Non - Aircraft Related Response: Comments noted. With regards to sounding of ferry horn, this is a marine regulation.

Re: “With regards to notifying pilots to avoid low overflights of the community,...... invoice for landing is issued to a visting pilot, a copy of the Good Neighbour Policy is attached to the invoice.” Your cynical and dismissive responses to the community’s concerns about noise, the TPA’s forcing of airport expansion through despite the wishes of Torontonians and Toronto’s mayor, your landing planes outside of the hours stipulated in the legally binding Tripartite agreement, your use of Q400s which also violate the Tripartite agreement’s rules on noise, your pilots’ continued over-passing of the community, your pilots’ flying tightly around the community so that emissions spew into the air that the people breathe, your removal of the very few bike posts at Union Station so that your mostly empty buses may idle on the sidewalk, your abuse of the queuing lanes at the foot of Bathurst Street that run adjacent to a park, a daycare and a school certainly don’t give any impression that the TPA or Island Airport care about the community it resides in. Obviously giving your pilots slips of paper is not working. Aircraft Category Non - Specific Response: AFTNS tracked Porter taking off at 0657h. Within normal operating hours.

This is what we recorded, times may not be exact: 18:19 - Q400 landing (it was an all encompassing noise) 18:23 - repeat 18:23 - 18:43 - 7 smalll engine planes take off 18:45 - a deafening helicopter 19:07 - Q400 take off (jet fuel fumes and noise) 19:23 - Q400 take off - as above 19:39 - another loud helicopter We went inside after becasue it was too much noise and pollution - I m not sure I can entertain on the balcony or even want to sit out on it as this night was my first attempt at using my balcony since I moved there last Fall. this is not acceptable in terms of quality of life.

I have yet to hear back from you with any explanation following previous complaints about similar noise and I am wondering if perhaps you don t see noise on the ground (though much louder and more annoying than any plane in flight) as being your responsibility. If that is the case, please at least let me know what the noise is, who is making it and to whom should I make my complaint. Otherwise, I would really appreciate your attention to this ongoing problem and and an earnest attempt on your part to effect a solution.

08/06/2008 B-05 Bathurst/Queen's Quay Area Type of Comment: Noise Presence Noise + Presence I was just reviewing recent complaint summaries. I am unaware of what classificatoin guidelines might be in place to determine if a given complaint is concerning: noise, airport presence, or both. No doubt, this can be challenging. However, I would suggest that any complaints which result in a response containing the words: "no unusual aircraft operations" or "emergency Medevac flight" should probably be classified as a noise and presence type of complaint?

Wanted to sleep this morning. It's usually quiet Sunday mornings. Closed windows after earlier landing and turned on a fan. So I shouldn't have heard any noise from outside. Then, about 9:30, a.m., heard an unbelievably loud roar from airport. Had a pillow over my head. Thought it would stop. It didn't. The roar got louder and wouldn't stop. The closed windows, fan, and pillow over my ears didn't help. It wouldn't stop, so I got up about 9:45 to hear thunderous Q400 engine- revving. It got lower, and by 9:50 a.m., a Porter Q400 joined another one at the gate. Please give us some peace to sleep on Sunday mornings.

At 8:57 I started noting the obscenely loud engine noises... the ones that blast the air (usually engine warmups or taxiing) as opposed to the usual take off and landing noises which are also very wearing. The next loud noise was at 9:27 but the worst went on from 9:34 until after 9:42. This noise was so loud that my daughter could not hear what I was saying to her in the same room. I believe that this was one of the whisper quiet Q400s we keep hearing about - yet no one seems to be taking responsibility for the extremely loud engines they have. Then again at 9:47 and 9:55. Finally I left the house. This is outrageous. Friday was also horrific - the whole day. It is not possible to list all the times that I am bothered by the sound of the airport. We should be entitled to enjoy some peace in our homes and workplaces. It is wearing us down. We do not feel that you are taking any steps with the airport to keep them within their legal takeoff and landing times and no one seems to care how loud the engine noises are. They wake us up in the night and in the morning and then we are barraged all day long.

April 12 at 1600: my understanding of the response is that the sustained half hour of noise was due to overlap in helicopter and airplane activities? The response did not note any followup being done to avoid this complaint in future. April 15 at 0837: the response noted that planes were doing figure 8s over the city heading south; however, the sustained noise was originating from the aiirport lands. Nothing is noted as to how this complaint will be avoided in future. April 16 at 2145: the response did not note what in fact caused the sustained noise and how this concern will be mitigated in future to avoid complaints. In general, all responses are tagged as being either telephone or email responses (not sure what protocols in place); but, just for the record, I logged all my complaints through the website and did not recieve any telephone messages or email responses. I am reading your responses for the first time on the complaiint summaries. Thank you for maintaining this complaint website. Aircraft Category Non - Specific Response: Comments noted.

14/06/2008 L-06 Bathurst/Queen's Quay Area Type of Comment: Noise Presence Noise + Presence The constant and now everpresent use of noise cannons continues to disturb our quality of life and right to peace and enjoyment of our home and neighbourhood, and in particular is now driving our dog crazy. Why are they used so early in the morning (before 7am)? Has the use of these noisemaking instruments increased over the past year? How often are they used? Are there provincial and municipal regulations governing their use? Are they in keeping with your certificate of approval? If they are not working -- and the increasing use of them leads me to believe they re not -- perhaps other methods could be examined: the use of falcons at other airports has worked. I am finding the constant use of these noisemakers more and more irritating, and they are having a serious effect on the health of our dog.

This has occurred on several occasions and is absurdly loud and disturbing. This is unacceptable. I can tolerate the constant hum of the cars and airplanes but the screeching of the poorly maintained streetcar lines sounding like a teacher scratching their nails across a blackboard and a bloody cannon being fired on a regular basis is enough. I sincerely hope you will act on this complaint as it potentially (had you publicized your site) could have been about the 6th complaint on the cannon shooting issue alone. The numerous Porter Airline arrivals around 11:30 are understandable given it s out of their control most of the time when they depart from other locations but to add (allow) a cannon to be fired with no ceremonial or heritage associated motivation is outright Ridiculous..

JUNE 2008 TCCA Monthly Noise Comments Page 69 of 83 24/06/2008 3:32:00 PM M-13 Bathurst/Queen's Quay Area Type of Comment: Noise Presence Noise + Presence A small jet aircraft took offer from City Island Centre Airport and generated an extremely loud and disturbing noise right across the entire inner harbour. I was sitting at the patio at Queens Quay terminal and had to put my hands over my ears. This is not supposed to happen -- no jet aircraft at this airport. I hope this is not the thin edge of the Porter wedge attempting to sneak jet aircraft into the airport. Please let me know how this could have happened.

JUNE 2008 TCCA Monthly Noise Comments Page 70 of 83 24/06/2008 7:55:00 PM F-04 Algonquin Island Type of Comment: Noise Presence Noise + Presence I was enjoying playing with my children in the field on Ward s Island when a Porter flight flew past. I was shocked to see how low it flew and that there were no attempts to cut a swath around the community, in fact it looked like it flew directly over. The noise was deafening, you could hear it before it flew over the community, as it went over the harbour and when it landed with the roaring back thrust of the engines. I don t understand why is it so difficult for Porter pilots to fly over the industrial area farther north. Was this intentional that the pilot flew so close to the community endangering the lives of residents and tourists? What provisions is the TPA making for the future when you increase your flights? Do you not think that this looks bad on the airline from a purely ethical point of view? Aircraft Category Scheduled Air Service DH8D de Havilland Q400 Response: AFTNS tracked Porter at 900ft over the eastern channel on approach to land at 1953h.
