Flights are banned to take off and land during the night (as the neighborhood is asleep)
A German court ruled in favour of night flight ban at Frankfurt airport, Europe's third busiest on all take-offs and landings between 11 pm and 5 am following complaints by local residents.
As Germans need their quiet time(no offence to any one here as a good night’s sleep is everyone’s right. I am not opposing that).
I have seen people desperately searching for flights (in case of emergency) and then come across this fact. They have to wait over night for the next flight.
These types of barriers are also installed near railway tracks to absorb sound waves.

I hope things like this will be introduced in other countries as well.
