Aircraft noise - a huge increase over the West Bay Lagoon area lately. Have flightpaths changed or something?

aircrafts always have to land and take off against the wind direction.

Yes they have. Its about the change of the climate and the change in wind direction. Normally they land from the Wakra part, but now that its winter, they come from Westbay.

Have also noticed an increase too over the last couple of nights, planes are still flying on the exact same path, directly over our Villa, appear at about the same height and they are still putting their undercarriage down at the same point, but the noise is noticeably greater. Think it must just be atmospherics or the planes are getting older and the engines more noisy. Don't remember it last year or the year before though, so can only think it is a combination of the wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, cloud cover, dust in the air, etc. that are causing it, hopefully it will pass soon as one or more of those change.
