The noise coming from military jets taking off and landing from the Palm Springs International Airport is getting attention from locals.
The number of landings and take offs increased by 30% from Nov. 2010 to Nov. 2011, said Palm Springs City Council members during Wednesday night's meeting.
That's why Palm Springs homeowners have created the Airport Noise Citizen Committee.
?The planes are so loud, they are scarring people, scarring dogs and scarring people away from buying real estate," said Vic?Gainer, Palm Springs HOA Presidents Council.
Last month council members met with Congresswoman Mary Bono-Mack to discuss the noise concern.
Bono-Mack wrote a letter the U.S. Secretary of Defense questioning why non-military airports are being used for these flights.
The city has not heard back from the federal government, but flights did decrease in December.
Council members said Wednesday that they are also conducting a noise pollution study that should be complete in 6 months - it's part of the airports master plan.
