In St Catherine I can only occasionally hear the turnpike, but just barely a rumble, and only from my lanai. It happens when the wind is blowing a particular way. So visiting a location one day will not determine what will be heard. If you visit a location and hear something you don't like on that one day, that would be enough to say no. Near Pickelball courts would be a no for me. I was told golf courses are mowed frequently and often early in the morning, so we avoided those. We didn't want to be on a pond as we have many allergies, want to avoid flooding and extra wildlife including mosquitos. You'll want to consider exposure - where the sun rises and sets. We enjoy watching the sunsets from our west facing lanai. But our house is often dark on the inside unless we turn on the lights. I am glad there is no pool equipment near us, so that's a positive.
