I have been through this a couple of times with a couple of clubs. How close
are they to the field? Do flyers fly over their properties (this could be
the real problem) Do you have noise restrictions on models flown at the
field? If you do, are they enforced and are they strict enough?

Invite your local political representatives to the field to observe the
flying and do the same for your neighbours.

Take sound measurements from the locations of the complaints and document
them.

Make sure that you have a club representative at all meetings regarding this
matter.

Hope for the best.

We lost two fields because of noise complaints even though the noise wasn't
measureable from the locations of the complaints. We found out later that
the real complaint was that models were flying in close proximity to the
houses and the neighbours rightly considered it dangerous. They followed the
noise complaint as they thought that it was the easier route to be
successful..........they were correct.............unfortunately.

Good luck

Have you contacted the AMA for help?

We had the problem of having the land owner sell the property we were
flying on. The new land owner was going to develop the land however
do to the economy that hasn't taken place and the land is now open for
vandals and others that take advantage of the area. AMA did there
best but to no avail. To bad as models have flown on that land for at
least 30 years that I know. Hope you all have better luck.

Start looking for a new field. Once there are neighbors close enough to see
or hear you flying, the field is lost. BTDT for well over thirty years.
There is no point spitting into the wind.

My club lost our field an few years back due to neighbors noise complaints.
We were able to come back as an all electric club. So far so good, but
sooner or later we'll probably get developed out of a field...
