Hawai‘i News Now reports that the Federal Aviation Administration is in the process of redesigning the flight paths around the country, beginning in Hawai‘i. The article stated that two of the people that HNN interviewed, live in Kaimukī, where arriving traffic crosses over that part of Honolulu at 8,000 feet complained of noise.
Hardly noisy, in comparison to west O‘ahu, where aircraft of all sizes are on final approach from Kapolei to Iroquois Point, at altitudes of 3,000 feet to 500 feet. There is a nightly noise-abatement curfew from 21:00 to 06:00 for Runway 8L, when all of the runways are in use.

EDITORIAL
I used to live in Kaimukī for several years, and can personally say that itʻs not noisy at all for arriving traffic from the west coast. Yes, there is general aviation, and small airline traffic that crosses over metro Honolulu, but even the noise levels were not loud. Military helicopters would be the loudest, but they only overfly the city on training missions or medevac flights.
