When I lived in the north, the only thing separating me from the highway was the senior housing rental building behind my house. We had a right-of-way from their drive to our driveway. This was I-91, in New Haven county, and it was pretty busy, most of the time back there. The motorcycle down the block from us was much more distracting than the highway noise, which was more of a "white noise" to us than anything else - just a constant, distant, soft buzz that was easily ignored.
There was a passenger train track 3 blocks away, and the track crossed the road around a mile away. We could hear that whistle when it approached the crossroad and THAT was louder than the noise on the highway.
