For 14 years I lived in a tourist area where the flightseeing helicopters run non stop during the daylight 4 months out of the year. At one point there was even a public vote to ban them. (the helicopters won) They only bothered me twice- every December they fly at night on "see the Christmas lights" tours. That was annoying. The other time it bothered me is when I hiked all day to a remote cabin on a lake to get away from it all. I was miles away from any people, roads, or unnatural noise- except the helicopters that flew directly overhead all day long. Kind of destroyed the pristine Alaska wilderness thing I was hoping for.
