California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Aaron v. City of Los Angeles, 115 Cal.Rptr. 162, 40 Cal.App.3d 471 (Cal. App. 1974):
In the instant case, the trial court carefully weighed a variety of circumstances including the increase in the number of jet aircraft landings, the increase in the number of fan jet aircraft (which are greatly more annoying than pure jet aircraft), and the effect upon the residents, and determined that the statute of limitations began to run in May 1963. Many of the individual plaintiffs testified that although they were annoyed by the noise in 1962, the frequency of the flights and the damage caused by the noise jumped markedly in 1963. (See Jensen v. United States, Supra.) There was substantial evidence to support the trial court's ruling that plaintiffs' claims were timely filed.
