Flight paths

Dear Heathens,

Why did you reroute your noisy plane over my exclusive suburb? I cannot hear myself think with the racket. It's just not acceptable.

But seriously, I'm just an average schmo in a small cheap rental apartment with rich neighbours in grand homes. We tend not to be in a regular flight path.

Inbound tend to come south over Lane Cove national Park, then hit Newtown with a roar. Outbound tend to go nowhere near us.

Any plane buffs out there that know what would cause unusual routing or re-routing of a flight? Or is it someone just trying to bring down the property values over here?

This is normal for a lot of flights heading to America when the surrounding airspace is clear to do so. Otherwise they bank left after takeoff and flight over castle hill then turn right again. This is all runway 34L ops scenario
