I live in Hawkins at just under a mile from the turnpike. I never hear the turnpike during the day but there are some nights when the wind is blowing strong from the west and we can hear the hum from our lanai. Never hear anything inside the house.
This is my opinion but I think when they repave the turnpike it will quiet down the noise considerably. The old pavement in our area is very rough and creates a lot of tire noise. When I drive it south towards the airport the tire noise is loud until the new blacktop starts and it gets significantly quieter.
