We aren't there full time yet fwiw.

This is our experience in DeLuna. No noise the day we looked at the house, then after purchasing and in escrow we heard the noise occasionally, and that’s how it’s been our first year here. Some days silent like it’s not there, other days fairly noticeable outside, but not in house or in glassed-in lanai. It seems to be related to atmospheric conditions. Because we moved from a home in Calif that was the same distance to a freeway (though very little truck traffic there), we aren’t bothered by it when we do hear it. We are 2-3 streets away, and our home is in line with only one side of the turnpike because north/south lanes are divided by a big area of trees. We also had a rock waterfall built in our backyard when we did the landscaping, so we run that when we’re out there (it’s on a remote), and that’s all we hear. It’s honestly a non-issue for us. We do hear the train way off in the distance, which we love. Even though there are power lines running through a portion of DeLuna, we aren’t close to them, and don’t see them at all from our street. That was a bigger issue for me than the turnpike. I didn’t want any view of the power lines.
