At 1/2 mile it is not enough bother that I would move or buy in a different location. Closer than I am now and I think I would not like it at all. I also realize that if more homes are built or strip malls between me and the turn pike that the sound most likely will be worse due to more hard surfaces bouncing the sounds waves all over the place instead of vegetation dampening it.

I'm in a similar situation with similar experiences. It's amazing how sometimes it's silent and other times it's fairly noticeable inside the house. It seems louder now than when we stood on the lot 2 1/2 years ago but I'm not sure how that can be.
I've done some traveling since moving in. We went to a place called "Lake Sumter Landing" and then this one time we went to another place called "Spanish Springs". Some places were louder, some places were quieter but it seemed the farther north we went the older the people got. Our house doubled in value so we're considering a vacation home in a place called Citrus Springs. To get there you have to take this sketchy bridge over a road called "27/441"
