Noise complaints about whirly-birds....

I have never understood the mindset of people that buy cheap property near an airport or aviation manufacturing facility and then later begin complaining about noise.  There is a reason the land was cheap folks!  Bell Helicopters would LOVE nothing more than to make silent machines - it would be wonderful for them and wonderful for us - but unless they are able to build and test their equipment PROGRESS can never come about.  As a helicopter pilot I see more and more people complaining about noise and see more and more airports incorporating noise abatement procedures.  I simply don't get it.  Aircraft create noise much like railroads and freeway systems.  Freeway noises are constant, trains and airplanes are temporary as they come and go.  The world without helicopters would be a miserable place and many more people would perish in an emergency.  Personally I'd love to live next to a heliport or airport - the noise doesn't bother me one iota.  I love the sound of blade slap - whup whup!
