Anyone Live In Totley, is aircraft noise a problem?

Recommended Posts

I have just received the keys to my new rental property in Totley Rise and moving in over the next couple of weeks. Spent a couple of hours there this morning and noticed loads of planes flying over, one every couple of mins the whole time I was there.... The background noise was pretty much constant. I'll probably get used to it but just wondering if anyone knows if this is normal for Totley? I've never lived there before and it looks like it might be a very busy flight path and I didn't realise.  I'm currently in Mosborough, and it's really quiet here.

 

Thanks in advance.

I live in Totley and I like planes so find myself keeping an ear ooem. I don't hear constant background noise from planes at all, and certainly not at a level that is annoying. We get the odd lower flying helicopter and smaller propellor planes. 

 

The lowest flying passenger planes are going to/from Manchester but in my experience they are at a good enough height to not be too noisy by the time they're flying over.

OK thanks saywhatnow.  Perhaps it was an unusually busy morning aircraft wise.

Maybe. The only other thing I can think is that I'm at work and not in Totley during office hours, so I may miss the busy period.

I lived there for 20 years untill recently and cannot remember low flying planes ever being a problem.

Thanks jackanne. 

 

@saywhatnow I do work from home but if it ends up being really noisy during the day, I'll start working from a co-working space in Sheffield instead.

There was a helicopter flying to and fro across the area, I was on the Beauchief golf course. It is not really a common occurance. The planes, that is, not me playing golf.

:) Ah right, maybe that's what the noise was. Sounded more like planes.

Isn't there a small 'private aircraft' landing strip somewhere near there?

Nearest one is at Apperknowle, a grass strip.
