"A great place to rent"
Currently renting in the area - flights noticeable at times during day but not noticeable to us by night. I have friends in Bulimba, Norman Park who say it's no better there. We don't hear the trains but live more than 1km away. Overall the pros outweigh the cons for us. We also love taking our dog for a walk in the Seven Hills reserve and neighbours are very friendly.

I have lived in Morningside for the past 4 years and have also never been bothered by aircraft noise at night, it has certainly never kept me awake or woken me early. True I do hear it of a day which I thought would bother me when I first moved here but I must have gotten used to it as now I hardly notice it. My friends at Hawthorne also experience overhead planes during the day so not sure if there is any quieter.
Aircraft noise being an issue? Harden up! We live in a city, there's always aircraft noise. Even here it is far and few between, not that loud and it definitely ends before sleepy time. And, I live in Morningside but I am 1.9km away from the flight path, so, you're wrong. That is all.
Great stuff. Enjoy. We've moved. We prefer to be in aircraft, not less than 2000 ft under them.
So good for you!
My worst experience ever - with noise from planes, foul language and smartarse drunks, noisy parties every other night, always calling police to just have some peace a quite. If you are a professionally focussed worker and study this is not the place for you! Add a comment...
We have lived in Morningside 3 times. Once directly under the flightpath (we shifted as the noise did our head in), and 2 other times, where we were 1 km away, and the noise was only slightly better there. We have also lived in Bulimba and Hawthorne. The difference with these 2 suburbs is that you only get noise of aircraft landing (& distant noise as they take off & loop west over South Brisbane / CBD area at higher altitude) & no later than 10pm, when all aircraft switch to the instrument approach right over Morningside / Cannon Hill for takeoffs and landings (there is no reason why this need be the case, but try reasoning with Airservices Australia). No where in Morningside is further than 1 km from the main ILS flightpath which tracks over Asquith St, & Gatling / Shrapnel sts. There is no airport curfew in Brisbane. Occasionally there is recipocal takeoffs and landings over the Bay from 10pm - 6am, but regularly our house would vibrate (and our heads) from large 777 & 747 international jets taking off and landing from midnight to 6am, and that's when we were on the Morningside / Balmoral fringe, 1km from the flightpath. If you were immune to this & aircraft noise doesn't bother you, that's great. I am merely stating the reality. As you say, there are many pros for Morningside, but I suggest one of the reasons Morningside is far cheaper than neighbouring Balmoral / Bulimba / Hawthorne, is because of the constant arcraft noise (why else could it be? It's quicker after all, to drive from Morningside to the CBD, than it from Bulimba?).
