Yes, the same person.

Do the math and that boils down to just over an average of 18 a day, every day, for 365 days.

Who this person may be — airport officials aren’t saying. All they’re willing to say is that the person lives in Northwest Washington. And trust us, we asked, repeatedly. It’s easy to dismiss the person as a crank, but as Ed Solomon, president of the

, a group founded to raise awareness of the residents’ plight, said even if one person is responsible for that many complaints, it shouldn’t take away from the main issue, which is that changes in flight patterns into and out of National Airport have created serious noise problems that can’t be ignored. He said airport officials may want to downplay the issue by dismissing the rise in complaints as the work of just one person — but Solomon has seen the number of households affected grow significantly.

The shift enables planes to fly more direct routes, saving fuel and reducing carbon emissions. But in some parts of the country, it has meant more noise for people on the ground — and not just in the District.

Residents in California, Arizona, Illinois, New York and Minneapolis also are reporting problems with airport noise. In some instances, the shift in flight patterns is routing planes over communities that never had to deal with flyovers. Santa Cruz, Calif., is 60 miles south of San Francisco Airport, yet residents there are now getting a daily dose of airplane noise.
