POLL: Are You Bothered By Medical Helicopter Flyovers?

Some residents have complained about the noise of medical helicopters in Twinsburg. What do you think?

Whenever a medical helicopter flies over Twinsburg, it's safe to say someone's life is on the line. But is the noise enough to cause residents to complain?

Some folks have, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. In a recent article, the Beacon reported that some residents are frustrated by the noise created by the helicopters, sometimes waking them up in the early morning hours.

The situation has become more of an issue after the Cleveland Clinic opened last summer, adding an additional helipad to the city, including the one at University Hospitals.
