This article argues for the inclusion of aircraft noise in considerations of everyday rhythms. Informed by Lefebvre's rhythmanalytical thinking, in conjunction with sound studies and affect theory, the article expands the literature concerned with the conflicts and confluences of rhythms in everyday life. Building on in-depth interviews, it presents first-hand accounts of the experience of aircraft noise from the perspective of anti-aircraft noise activists in New York City, to demonstrate how rhythms of aircraft noise may come to set the pace of everyday life and how interviewees negotiate their imposition. It particularly attends to the embodied experience of aircraft noise and its effects on sleep. Through combining conceptual thinking and empirical findings, the article discovers aircraft noise as an instance of power, which may order and disorder rhythms and everyday life
