But beep beep from construction on Meggison at Richmond East which is about 2.5 miles away is clear as a bell.

Occasionally heavy fog, rain strong winds creates a hum, in front of house. People who visited have no idea the pike is in the general area.

What amazes them is hearing the train whistle.

Of course up north we live 4 miles from M-59 4-6 lanes and 5 miles from Oakland Airport, busiest commercial airport in Mi. Both have noise factor especially when they do maintenance on the plane engines at 3am. So pike noise not even on radar for any family visits.

My guess is those who live in very rural areas, noise from BV, Morse, or pike would bother them.

But many here come from cities that lights, traffic, airports, trains, and freeway is everyday noise that is Normal

Was thinking mostly of road noise from turnpike. Going numerous times will show how noisy it gets depending upon traffic combined with wind direction
