NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Every year, millions of people visit Nashville, which means a lot of planes and a lot of noise. However, some native Nashvillians have said it's just become too loud.

Jeff LeGore has lived in Music City since 2017. Within the past eight years, he said the noise from the Nashville International Airport has become unbearable—especially at night. LeGore measured decibels as planes were taking off one day, finding that noise levels reached more than 98 decibels and peaked at about 101 decibels.

That's about the same noise level as a running lawnmower.

LeGore told News 2 he and his neighbors in Glencliff Estates are southeast of the airport, and the noise of the planes is so loud and clear that he is awoken in the night. He's gone as far as talking with his Metro Councilmember about it as well as attending neighborhood meetings about the noise problem, but he told News 2 that he's losing hope that anything could be done.

LeGore has gone as far as talking with his district's council member about it, and has attended neighborhood meetings about the problem, but he says he's losing hope anything can be done.

"It's just getting louder and louder and it's going to affect my property value significantly," LeGore said. "We're doing pretty good up here. It's a nice little neighborhood, but it's definitely going to be affected if it keeps getting louder and louder."

News 2 reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration about air traffic and flight paths. As of publication, there has been no response.
