I will be relocating in 2025 and would like to have a baseline for this issue.

I thank you, all, in advance for your observations.
I live in Marsh Bend which is about 3/4 of a mile west of the turnpike. If there is any wind at all... Even a breeze that you cannot physically see by looking at the leaves on the trees from the west you will not hear the turnpike. Same thing....If there is any wind at all from the east you will. I have a friend who lives about a mile and a half from the turnpike and says they experience the similar phenomena. I cannot hear it inside the house at all. And can barely hear it inside the lanai and we have single pane glass windows there. If you had dual pane windows you wouldn't hear it at all.
