Usually I just let myself relax when they don't stop next to my house. Maybe it's from like 20 years of working in NYC, but noise is basically just part of living/working/existing here. 40/41 years have been lived in this general 10mi radius and it's always been a cacophony of WTF.
If you are near the Holland Tunnel you are gonna be stuck with helicopters because the morning news has to like, fly over and "show you" the traffic. and we have a ton of major roadways converging into 1/9 towards the Tunnel so it's basically "all the time". I lived off 1/9 on Baldwin for about 20 years and it was REALLY loud at times, to the point where I occasionally worried something might crash into the area.... but yeah sound is just weird and things bounce around sometimes and sound even worse.

Actually, I live in Newport, about 2 blocks from the tunnel, and I don’t hear the helicopters hovering that often. I hear them going up and down the river or flying people out to EWR, but not in the “traffic report” stationary sense. Could just be me.

I think it's because I was literally right where the major roadway goes down to the Tunnel and I often saw the helicopter news people during the traffic reports... Newport I can see having more issues with the helipad stuff... but I haven't lived downtown in a very long time.

A lot of them are tourist/sightseeing helicopters or private use and definitely not news/police- I used to live in Port Imperial and we heard them often pre Covid, less so during the height of it all, and definitely became more frequent again before we moved out in late 2021
