Tanka of the Day (Last night) The jets growl for hours over Puget Sound, till we begin to tune them out, grow numb to yet one more cruel thing. citizensofebeysreserve/blog/citizens-organization-takes-navy-growler-jet-noise-issue-to-washington-dc/ From Citizens Organization Takes Navy Growler Jet Noise Issue to Washington, DC: The EA-18G is causing noise concerns in communities across the region (throughout Island, Jefferson, Skagit and San Juan counties) and across the United States, such as the Florida Keys, and Virginia Beach. “Because the Navy chose to build the EA-18G Growler without any noise mitigation features, over the objections of their own auditors, it is part of a growing military noise problem. If tinnitus and hearing loss were broken out and compensated individually, the Department of Veterans Affairs would pay more than $2 billion a year to veterans for these two injuries alone, according to the Department of Defense. The high noise levels of this aircraft are impacting civilian communities and have created a public health issue,” stated COER’s Maryon Attwood.
