Noise could be a problem depending how close and house direction. Florida is not Pittsburgh, meaning we have breezes off the ocean and gulf virtually every day after 10am, so highway pollution will be broken up. When considering noise, emergency vehicles are an additional consideration since we do have a high amount.
