On the first night of around-the-clock flight operations from the new airport, some residents report being woken by aircraft noise while others nearby say they were not disturbed. Brisbane Times, The Age, and the Sydney Morning Herald describe a resident in Luddenham, about 25 kilometres from the airport, who was woken by sounds that she initially thought were something else, such as a truck. The reports note that the household next door remained asleep, suggesting the noise is not experienced uniformly across nearby streets and homes. All three outlets frame the accounts as early, firsthand reactions to the start of 24/7 activity, with the same distance from the airport and the same contrast between neighbouring properties. The articles do not indicate whether officials or the airport operator respond in detail within the provided summaries, but they present local perceptions as the first measure of impact from continuous flight schedules.
