I can't believe this bill is going to make it even harder for me to get a good night's sleep with all the noise from airplanes flying overhead. It's just not fair that they can keep polluting the air and disrupting our lives without any consequences. This is going to have a major impact on my quality of life and I'm really disappointed in our government for not doing more to protect us from this kind of environmental harm.

This bill is so sad. It's important to research and collect data on aircraft and airport noise and emissions, but who does it really help? Who is affected by this? #HRBill898
