NATO flight training noise would make Innu territory uninhabitable

Evidence

The Innu believe that NATO’s proposal would make their territory uninhabitable. There are some simple mechanics in their argument. The noise produced by a military aircraft flying at 30 to 75 meters is generally exactly at or above the human pain threshold of 110 decibels. The pounding of a jackhammer, for example, produces about 100 decibels of noise. — Winona LaDuke, All Our Relations, 303
