Aircraft noise is driving Chicagoans nuts. Here's why.

Your 311 calls are telling us what's up in Chicago

Okay so, Chi-Town on the wire — you already know. Let's talk about what's really bugging people in this city, according to the latest 311 service requests. For real, it’s not just the potholes anymore, though those are still a problem, like 1,679 requests for potholes in the street.

### What's Keeping Us Up

The number one complaint, and this is wild, is "311 Information Only Call" with 12,290 requests. Like, people are calling 311 just to ask questions? What does that even mean? Is it that confusing to get info from the city? And right behind that, and this really grinds my gears, is "Aircraft Noise Complaint" with a staggering 9,096 requests. Almost ten thousand people are calling about planes. You know what that means, right? They’re flying low, probably over the South Side, over places like Midway or those flight paths that always seem to hit neighborhoods that already deal with everything else.

* **Top 311 Issues:**

* 311 Information Only Call: 12,290

* Aircraft Noise Complaint: 9,096

* Graffiti Removal Request: 2,005

* Pothole in Street Complaint: 1,679

It's not just a minor annoyance; it's a quality of life issue. If nearly 10,000 people are calling about plane noise, that’s telling you something about who lives under those flight paths and how much they’re being impacted. These numbers from the 311 data are a real snapshot of what's bothering our neighbors. We gotta watch how the city responds to these ongoing noise complaints, because it ain't gonna get quieter on its own.
