For some reason, they mostly remain indoors, but I'm outside as much as possible. In summary, there's really not lot of noise. However, since you will be on Lake Sumter, you should visit the villa at night to see if the music from downtown is acceptable.

I might add, you may enjoy the extra privacy imparted by the villa walls. And no one can complain about your yard decorations!

Thank you for your reply. Im sure we will enjoy the privacy of the walls should we purchase. Great idea about checking out the night noise level!
