HE lives 31km away from Sydney Airport - in Kellyville - yet former railway worker Henry Romanowski has complained about airport noise 19,600 times in 12 months.

That's an average of one complaint every 20 minutes the airport is open.

The 64-year-old is responsible for almost two-thirds of all aircraft noise complaints made to Airservices Australia in Sydney over the past year.

His nearest rival is one person who lives a few kilometres from the airport at Eastlakes and who has lodged at least 4312 complaints.

Mr Romanowski, whose house is also several kilometres west of the main flight path, said he was not surprised he was the biggest complainant, saying it was a protest over the "up to 1000" aircraft flying above his home every month.

"I just keep on complaining until they do something," the grandfather of four said.

"I want them to stop flying over. They should be flying over the coast."

Mr Romanowski, who lives with wife Christine and son Gerard, 41, in the home he bought 35 years ago, said the problem began two years ago.

"They do wake me up and they do keep me awake. We get them flying very low when they're taking off from Mascot, which is very noisy at times," he said.

"They seem to be targeting this area. A lot of people around here are concerned."

Mr Romanowski said he makes a note each time a plane flies over his home and later logs on to the website and clicks the complaint button once for every occasion.

He claims to hear planes flying overhead from before 6am to 11pm most days.

"Tonight I'll have a glass of red and complain," he said. He denied he was a nuisance.

"It's not a nuisance. It's a form of complaint that you can do publicly that the government has set up," he said.

"It would be a nuisance if I'd been obstructing someone or something like that. It's a peaceful protest."

Aircraft noise ombudsman Ron Brent has warned pester power would not be rewarded.

"Someone complaining numerous times does not benefit anybody," Mr Brent said.

"They (Airservices) should be focusing on the issues rather than the number of times complainants contact Airservices - AirServices has moved to increase security to stop automated computer-generated complaints."

It followed a review of their complaint handling process in 2011 when it was believed some complainers had set up a computer script to automatically lodge a complaint via Airservices' WebTrak site every time it logged a plane flying near their homes.

A spokeswoman for Transport Minister Anthony Albanese said serial complainers were not skewing the government's view of complaints or how it set curfew and take off and landing caps.
