we were a mile from the Turnpike when we lived in Ft Lauderdale...when the wind was blowing toward us you could hear the traffic....but it became similar to 'white noise' after awhile and you just didn't hear it.

Now I would guess that it was much more of an issue for those that were much closer to the highway (including the smell of the exhaust fumes).

Chitty Chatty would be my choice if we were buying now (or a pre-owned)
