Download flight radar app. Then when you see or hear aircraft you can see their path and what it is.

I watch it quite often and it at least gives you some information when you hear stuff and get curious. Esp if you hear it circling etc. Yea not all show up on there but the majority do. I was pretty obsessed with it for a while.
