Thank you very much about being transparent in living at the villages near the TP.

Over the last 12 months or so, people have commented on buying near the Turnpike and there is a mix of Noise-Not-A-Problem to Yeah-Very-Noisy. I've read the threads where the original people in Linden wanted a wall built along the Turnpike, so I know the noise issue has been discussed numerous times.
On most days and nights, the noise is there, but it is OK -- I would rather have no interstate noise, but I can live with it. From time to time there is no noise (Winds blowing noise the other way). And, at other times, like this morning, you could not pay me to buy a house near the Turnpike. Had I been looking this morning, I would asked the agent about nice used houses further north!
When we moved in, during the Summer the noise was loud at times. This Winter seems worse. Further, more houses have been built between us and turnpike. We thought it would dampen the noise.
For the weather people (enthusiasts, club members, etc.) what is your take on the Turnpike noise and weather?

Kowing what I know now I could never buy there because if the terrible noise of the turnpike and alot of other location. location's location location is very important when purchasing a home.
