Father lives in Hawaii. Has a house with a gorgeous view overlooking the golf course several blocks behind Diamond head. Traffic noise all day all night. White noise really. Not a lot of semis, but we hear a siren at least 6 times a day. I live near the turnpike. No big deal for me. Can't hear a thing from that with the windows closed AC on (or off). The annoying noise for me is lawn mowers every day even Sundays and yup welcome to TV home of John Deer
