That is very true, and I strongly hold the view that if you live near an airport you need to accept the noise, however, people moved in knowing that there is a regulation that prohibits certain takeoffs after 11pm. Many people there are happy to accept the noise during most hours, but they are fully aware there is a curfew.
It isn't fair for them to have the rules changed without compensation... it is like building a house and THEN having an airport built next door... when you moved in there was no reason to think there would be noise during those hours.
That said, I do think that a lot of the other "noise sharing" procedures are complete rubbish.
