Hearing noise outside my house is not so much a concern - what I don’t want is to be able to hear any noise inside my home with my windows closed. I like the more “ open” kitchen feel better of the new homes, which is drawing me to a newer home vs an older resale.
One thing to add I don’t recall previously mentioned, concrete block/pre-cast construction will likely do a better job of blocking interior noise than frame.

Good luck with your search!
