Great location, but many lots close to turnpike. Question - I don’t mind a distant hum of noise, but how far away from turnpike should I be so I don’t hear much noise?

As a kid we had the elevated subway just below my bedroom window. Training? Nothing keeps me up. You need to make your own decision. Surely there are charts for typical highway decibels as well as rate of sound fall off.
We do not have it-FORTUNATELY. A neighbor with a band, a neighbor who thinks everyone wants to hear his radio, a motorcycle, etc.
If, noise bothers you I would purchase block stucco construction and get double thick glass in your windows-not two pane glass, the glass is actually thicker.
