OP, you are correct to be concerned about noise in The Villages, but your premise that a courtyard villa will increase your potential for dog noise is not correct. When you view houses to buy, look around and rule out those that have a noise issue. Definitely check for traffic noise, pool pumps, and pickleball courts. Whenever I go to an open house, if the agent is playing music, that is a red flag, and I always ask them to turn it off. Good luck.
