A study of noise from the F/A-18 — the Blue Angel plane — at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island found “over 74,000 people were at risk of adverse health effects. Of those exposed, substantial numbers were estimated to be highly annoyed and highly sleep-disturbed, and several schools were exposed to levels that place them at risk of delay in childhood learning.” South Seattle Seafair neighbors suffer similar noise risk.
