I believe this analogy works in the opposite way?
Moving next to an airport is like starting a job at a restaurant that doesn't pay minimum (or living) wage.
In either case, you know ahead of time that it'll be annoying to live/work in those situations because planes are loud and not all people tip to make up the poor wage level.
And then to solve these problems, instead of requiring that planes be quieter or that people always tip, perhaps re-zone the areas surrounding the airport so people can't move there, and sign into law minimum wage that scales with cost of living so people don't have to need tips.
