I'm often awoken by aviation flying over South East London at 6AM in the morning. This might be a good thing to look at during those times...

(I wear earplugs and have double glazing, but the noise is deep and penetrating. I wonder how many other hundreds of thousands of people are also disturbed by early morning planes...)

For this situation, it’s not clear that a live display is more helpful than a replay of ADS-B data that you could explore later.

Thanks, that is helpful. I can see from it there's lots of plane traffic flying just south of the river, from East to West, into Heathrow airport, from 5am onwards.

For much of a year I slept at the end of a runway in a combat zone in Iraq and used to hear all the jets take off with full afterburner.

I got to the point I just slept through it.

When I was visiting Jerusalem in 2001 I got used to the sound of what was apparently helicopter gunships firing on... I dunno, something, off in the distance.

Definitely not the same as sleeping under an F16 or whatever, but it's amazing what we can get used to.
