I've walked every foot of Hawkins and you can hear the roar of the interstate at every corner. I've rode across Water Lily and stopped near Hogeye Sink and the noise is deafening.

If you grew up in Brooklyn, this is probably not noisy. If you grew up in the country, this is loud.

My parents live in The Villages also -- they don't hear the road noise. They also don't hear me when I ask "please pass the jelly" at breakfast.

It is fun to agree to disagree about the turnpike noise!

Point very well made, especially about "passing the jelly". LOL.
