While a debate arose last week over night flights at the airport, what about flight noise in general? The Palma federation of residents associations says that the noise from flights is "unbearable". Its president, Joan Forteza, points to an increase in air traffic this summer and to there being on average a flight every 54 seconds. (This, it should be noted, isn't of course the situation during the night.)

Not the airport but in restaurants, bars and hotels (with outdoor shows) override the allowed decibels
Yes, you "choose" (mostly) to live near an airport but household economics may not be good: I therefore see no reason why local residents on last-stage flight-path should not have better sound insulation paid for from airport profits.
When people decide to live in the area of an Airport , surely the noise of Aircraft, must have been in their acceptance, of their living conditions.
