We've had the F16s here for years. They tend to fly at certain times of day - like 9:30am and 1:00pm - and they're very loud. I don't know how much worse these will be. I haven't heard one yet.

I grew up on the flight path of a major international airport - I got used to stopping conversations mid-sentence. I don't expect these to affect my quality of life, but it will affect some people.
