I'm often awoken by aviation flying over South East London at 6AM in the morning. This might be a good thing to look at during those times...

(I wear earplugs and have double glazing, but the noise is deep and penetrating. I wonder how many other hundreds of thousands of people are also disturbed by early morning planes...)

For this situation, it’s not clear that a live display is more helpful than a replay of ADS-B data that you could explore later.

Something like: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?replay=2025-12-01-16:38&lat=...

    Thanks, that is helpful. I can see from it there's lots of plane traffic flying just south of the river, from East to West, into Heathrow airport, from 5am onwards.

For much of a year I slept at the end of a runway in a combat zone in Iraq and used to hear all the jets take off with full afterburner.

I got to the point I just slept through it.

    When I was visiting Jerusalem in 2001 I got used to the sound of what was apparently helicopter gunships firing on... I dunno, something, off in the distance.

    Definitely not the same as sleeping under an F16 or whatever, but it's amazing what we can get used to.

      Nothing like the smell of murder and oppression in the morning!
