There's a reason that houses by the airports, both civilian and military, are very cheap to buy or rent hon. No, there is nothing you can do about it....other than move.
 
REACHING HIGH IN TO THE SKY MAKE A SOUND LIKE THUNDER FOR ITS 123 FOR NOTHING CAN STOP THE US AIR FORCE.
 
The USAF bases overseas are very strict about flying times and about noise issues. There are times when they do have to perform night flying, it can't be avoided. And generally this is agreed upon between the local authorities and the air base leadership. Some noise is just going to happen, whether it's planes flying or just running engines.

As the others have said, if the base was already there when you moved in, then that's your own fault. You could have chosen a home further away from the base or not within it's airspace.
 
Were you there before the base was built?

. . . . . . . . . . . . didn't think so.

You (or your parents) bought KNOWING that there was a military AIR base near your home.

Might I suggest insulating your home?

Most bases in foreign countries have agreements concerning this with the local government and I would suggest you contact them and see what they can tell you. Any complaints probably should be routed through them and reach the level that it needs to rather than you just calling base ops to complain about the C-5 that just flew over that shook your house. Thing like acceptable noise levels, quiet hours, and even the restriction of certain aircraft from operating above a certain speed or at a certain level of power are not uncommon in these agreements. Sometimes these agreements are modified or things are waved during heightened operations but there is an agreement there in place I bet already. I know of several bases or flight-lines that were closed during the past twenty years partly because of this in foreign countries.
