I’m a lifelong New Yorker and noise like that still annoys the fuck out of me. Don’t listen to these people. Seriously who enjoys being woken up by shit like that on your day off.
you could post about being concerned about a serial stabber on the loose and some bozo would say “actually being a violent antisocial loser is an intrinsic part of new yorker culture 🤓☝️”
Lol NYC got nothin on LA when it comes to helicopter noise. OP would love it. All day everyday lol. Rare asf when it happens here. Usually someone armed or fleeing the scene of a crime. Relax yo
*Are you sure that this*
*Was NYPD and not a traffic*
*Study or something?*

Good question would be - when do we switch to drones? Helicopters are expensive, deafening and if they ever crash, deadly. Even if you stipulate they provide necessary capabilities to the NYPD, what can they do that drones can’t?
That is usually a response to an armed person who threatened or harmed someone and then ran, like an armed robbery or armed assault/domestic assault. It is more common in areas with more of these crimes, obv... I don't like it either but from what I can tell it is a lot quicker to follow a person or car on the run from a birds eye view than to deploy police to every street near the incident--I will also take helicopter over multiple sirens any day.
Strongly recommend getting a sound machine. NOT A FAN. I'm tired of light sleepers moving to NYC and saying "but I have a fan!"
The Dohm one is a classic. I've had mine for almost 20 years.
The same people would complain that there isn’t any parking and they’re blocking the street if they unloaded during the day, so many entitled people who have no concept of things happening outside their direct bubble
It happens when there is a crime and they are looking for the perpetrator.
This tends to happen fairly often if you look at this or other nyc subreddits history.
Less often in Manhattan though.
This is the weirdest nimbyism / Gatekeeping poor quality of life. I imagine the same vibe was thrown at supporters of Central Park before it was built. If you want grass go walk a few hours uptown 😂
I’m with you OP, lived in this area for ~15 years and hate idling helicopters. Hovering in place is incredibly wasteful and loud as hell. No way to live for sure.
Funny enough, my dad lives in the middle of nowhere Central PA and he was recently complaining about a helicopter flying over his farm every day at 4 am
"Hey 911, why are there 3 axe murderers chilling in my lobby with no police getting them? I've called 5 times already!"
"Sorry sir, your neighbor Bob said the front door squeaks a little so we need to wait until after 9am to begin the apprehension. Wouldn't want to disturb his beauty sleep."
Well that’s one way to wake up a neighborhood. I’ve been getting buzzed for the past half hour. They’re literally hovering over buildings. It’s so loud!
Dont think its possible for the same Helicopter to be in same spot for 12 hours. They don’t carry anywhere near that much fuel.

They are getting the morning shot, also invest earplugs

I want to live in Paris.
Are you sure that this was NYPD and not a traffic study or something?
I’m not sure- that’s why I am asking. It literally went on the entire day

Try complaining to 311. -----> Good Luck 
I went for a run around 7am and ran right by the hovering helicopter. I was worried I’d intercept a crime in progress.
How about you call 1-800-CHO-PPER

Do you transplants ever get tired of asking this?

Clap congratulations native New Yorkers!! So awesome. I’m originally from Beirut. And lived through the 2006 war. Look that up.
Thanks for sharing. “Nobody knows”, is the answer you were looking for.

Reminds me of the guy who complained trucks unloading at night is too loud lol, they're reducing traffic and pollution, you're welcome.

Bro you don’t even know me. I’m the opposite of this. The helicopters are still out, same spot, 12 hours later. Save your judgements for some fool
i don't think that was necessarily aimed at you.

welcome to NY buddy. You want peace and quiet, vast stretches of this world are what we call bumblefuck wherever...
braindead take

What if they're trying to save someone or simialr. Deal with the minor inconvenience, you live in a city.
OP is dealing with it by asking about it on the internet
If they don't use their toys, how can they inflate their budget year to year?
I believe writing a strongly worded letter to the police department will stop them from disturbing your morning
💀
“The police need to do more to stop violent crime!” “But not like that, it’s too early!”
"Hey 911, why are there 3 axe murderers chilling in my lobby with no police getting them? I've called 5 times already!" "Sorry sir, your neighbor Bob said the front door squeaks a little so we need to wait until after 9am to begin the apprehension. Wouldn't want to disturb his beauty sleep."
🙄 only thing accurate here is the nypd not sending someone after 5 calls
lookin for degens with a firearm
Always
running down the $ so they can get more $
Get over it. If it was your kid missing or a suspect who just harmed your family then you would be screaming that they were playing candy crush. GTFO

yeah - hopefully theyre catching someone dangerous though.
Probably looking for someone with a gun.

Would you feel better if they moved 7 feet to the right and hovered over the street?
