Depends, looks like small planes, and even if 10 come and go everyday you would quickly stop hearing them at all (the brain is very good at ignoring useless stimuli)

    Eh, if you're living in a air park like that one, chances are you're a planespotter or an aircraft owner/pilot yourself, I'll wager the sound is music to those guys ears. I certainly doubt anyone will complane, I mean they should know exactly what they signed up for.

    I’ve got you bud.

    Get some good speakers. Install an ad blocker (for now) and play “Air conditioner sound, 10 hours” on YouTube. It won’t annoy your neighbors, you can just say, “it’s muh humidifier” if anyone asks, but they probably won’t. Barking dog? Not in your bedroom. Vacuum cleaner? Nope, won’t hear it.

    And you’ll get to where you can’t sleep without it.

    I should download that video.

    Studies to highway and airport neighbourhoods say otherwise.

    I work at an airport. Cessnas and other small prop planes are perfectly fine and I think they are quieter than a harley for example. I bet those planes are the vast majority of planes flown in that pic of the neighborhood.

    Once you put jets on things it can get annoying. Even small business jets are pretty loud for their size, not to mention commercial airliners coming and going.

    Oh your brain processes those sounds for sure, but it mostly filters them out so, unless there is an unexpected sound, you don't pay attention to them

    No, exactly this was disproven again and again the last few years. The unconscious sounds add to the stress level too, makes you sleep worse, etc.

    Ok, may be different with only every hour or so. The studies are usually with constant traffic noise (like neighbourhood to airports, main roads).

    Not sure if there is a misunderstanding but I'm agreeing with you

    When I say the brain processes it, it means it does take some work and energy, although it might not bring it up to your conscious perception for you to react
