"Constant planes going over, one after the other," she said.
Greenfield and her neighbors have flooded the Port Authority with complaints about the noise made by flights headed for Kennedy Airport, Newsday reported.
"In the spring and the summertime, if you're in your backyard you can't hear yourself talk. You can't sit outside. The noise is unbearable," Greenfield said.
Greenfield told WCBS 880's Smith that she is worried about her hearing and can't sleep at night because of jets roaring in the predawn hours. She said there have been meetings but no solutions.
"We don't live next to the airport. We should not behaving this noise," she said.
