Now we seldom hear the helicopter noise but those of you that do - along the coast to the new Pu'u Leilani will eventually get used to it as back round noise.
I do not agree that we will eventually get used to it as background noise...in fact it's wearing thin on many people. It's one thing when the noise is continuous when a cruise ship is in town vs continuous 12+/7. Every 3-5 min, or even every 10 min 12+/7 shouldn't be the new norm for anyone to endure.
I called the FAA Flight Standard District Office this morning. They said they enforce "low flying" complaints. She gave me another number to call for Hawaii Helicopter Association which handles specifically Noise complaints. Their objective is "to be a good neighbor". Their Noise Comment hotline number is 800-370-1060.
I got a recording requesting very specific information, i.e. date, time/s and any identifiable markings on the helicopter, physical address where the noise is occuring, name and phone number.
