So I just have to go to that one website, which is biased against the jets. When formulating an argument, it is best to hear both sides of the story, hear from experts on both sides and then formulate an opinion on the topic.
I'll acknowledge looking at specs is reasonable research when formulating an opinion, but a YouTube video is not. How scientific would it be to watch that YouTube video and then be like "the CS100 is loud". Would it not be best to listen to the advice of aviation experts and professionals in the field? My comment is directed solely at the noise of the aircraft, and not the other aspects which you've mentioned (traffic impacts, view disruptions, etc). I agree with you that introducing jets at the airport could be negative in a number of ways, but when it comes to aircraft noise, I'd prefer to base my argument on solid numbers and facts.
On this we agree. There is a lot of misinformation on both sides of the aisles. That I don't argue about. And yes listening to expert non biased or coerced facts and opinion is best in this instance. I await the official and accredited numbers from Transport Canada, and from the City records before I make my judgement on the noise volume impact.
Just as a personal opinion though, and I'm sure its not a universal one, I find the typical jet whine sound more disruptive than the typical turboprop sound. So from a merely personally biased standpoint if volumes were the same I would still find the jet sound more disruptive than the turboprop. But that's just me
