Aircraft noise has a risk of heart disease.

 I found this serious story on BBC.

This article shows researcher's study of residents near the Heathrow Airport and the risk of heart and circulatory disease are 10-20 % higher in areas with much aircraft noise. The loud noise affects our blood pressure or disturbs people's sleep.

I have never use the airplane so it's not neasy to imasine the extreme noise of aircraft, but it seems to be more terrible than I expected. This research is about the Heathrow Airport but of course, it can be said that other areas which have an airport are facing the same problem. I was shocked that the loud noise of aircraft affects our blood pressure and it may cause the death of human. Also, the noise affects people's sleeping and their lives, so there are some points that should be considered and be improved or other solution should be thought for residents near the airport.

I'd like to ask questions for you.
1. Have you ever use the aircraft? If yes, how did you feel about the noise of it?
2. Do you think reducing the noise of aircraft is possible?
