In a populated area, aircraft are required to stay 1,000 feet from any object. If you are in an airport traffic pattern, were you there first, or was the airport there first?
A Harley is louder but it doesn't last long. Quickly enough, it's down the road and the noise is obscured by objects and sound barriers on the ground. The noise of a small plane lingers, takes several minutes to go away.

I got the biggest dose of it I'd had in a while at my client's house a few days back. One plane or helicopter after another. The noise was nonstop for a couple of hours.
