Living in western PA currently everything here is stick built construction with mostly vinyl siding. Sometimes a brick or stone veneer. All that said, you tend to hear a lot of ambient outside noise. Wind, rain, dogs, kids...even the neighbors basement dwelling son playing video games at 2 am.
When we finally move to Florida, I want the look of the house to say You're in Florida. My wife would be fine with either siding or stucco. I would prefer block (or poured wall) and stucco. I like the look, but rightly or wrongly I think it would be quieter inside, especially in bad weather and more energy efficient.
Has anyone lived in both in TV? Which do you prefer? and am I right or wrong on the noise and efficiency?
Thanks

This is my 3rd stucco I can still hear my neighbor's conversation across the street. look more at maintenance. Using the right quality paint and colors you only paint once for 20 yrs. (stucco) Siding has stick behind it.... what likes wood? it's really the basics on this. I love the 'never' on the siding but I'll take the stucco
