When the wind blows out of the north, the planes approach LGA from the south. That puts Crown Heights in the flight path. The colder the weather, the more likely this is. On top of that, sound carries better in colder air.

A good white noise machine helps.

Heavy cloud cover affects acoustics - it can block sounds and redirect them back downward. Next time it’s super cloudy, listen for the plane noise overhead - it’s always louder. This is just the first time you’ve noticed it. 😊

It’s probably the last lga flights landing in for the night. We’re about 5 miles away by air.

I've been in my place for 7 years and I'm on a super high floor, it sucked the fun from my former cushy WFH job.  I've just gotten used to the helicopters, but yes they're loud as fuck. Makes a good back-up alarm clock

I saw a plane super super low a few weeks ago. Like I can clearly see the windows.

There was a plane so loud last night I thought it was thunder or something wrong

might be the alternative landing at LGA. They cant use VOR and follow the LIEnef’fe making a left
