I used to fly light aircraft when I was in the UK. The airfield was constantly getting complaints from residents about noise even tho it had been there since the war.
One of the biggest complainers was a couple that had recently moved into a house on the airfield perimeter. Apparently they hadn't anticipated any aircraft noise even tho the house was named "Touchdown".
