We live 4 streets and a wall from the turnpike in our neighborhood. The back of our house backs to a prairie. In the front of the house we can hear the humming of tires, occasional sirens, and the opps I just left my lane, ran over warning bumps. Depending on the wind probably 20 plus days a month we don’t know the turnpike exists, inside or at our pool. Our boys both live in high traffic areas, front bedroom isn’t a big deal for them.

That said we also could hear BV traffic at our third house, constantly talking neighbors in kissing lanai in 2nd house, first house, noise while sitting in our lanai every with every car or cart ran over the grate in the road.

So can any of us help with some of your questions, sure, but the answers are for our degree of noise factors, not yours. So you can’t fault them for their opinions.

In your situation I would visit and spend at least a hour sitting in different areas, buy a house that you like, but keeping in mind if needed you could sell easily.

Because as others have posted, sometimes the traffic noise is much easier to take than humans, barking dogs, pool equipment, super loud conversations, TV and music, because people are hard of hearing. Or sometimes you really just don’t like the neighbors, it happens.

That's the issue we are having. We have made several trips but coming down each time something new pops us is getting tiresome and expensive.
If you look there's plenty of homes next to the turnpike and as you said, it's subjective.
We are coming down once again and hopefully we will find something soon. Thanks for your reply.
