I&#x27;m not sure why people who can afford modern houses complain about noise levels;  I&#x27;m living right under the flight-path for SJC and it is super loud.  But if you close a double pane window? it&#x27;s pretty quiet;  my place has a third single-pane of glass on the outside of that, and if I close the doors and windows?  the place is just about silent, no matter how many airplanes go overhead.<p>It&#x27;s not a fancy building, either; the construction is typical of the late &#x27;80s, early &#x27;90s, I think, aside from the third pane of glass, which I think was a retrofit.
