People can give you their experiences but depending on the orientation of the home and the surroundings and people's ability to hear and their sensitivity will make a difference.
This is why some people only buy pre-built homes because you know for sure what's in your front and rear yard and what's built around you. Eliminates the "guess-work" and being surprised when you find a utility transformer in your front yard after the home is built.
Also, if the land behind your home is vacant, do the research to see who owns the land. There was a case I think in Richmond where people built homes only to find the vacant space behind their home was owned by the power utility and within 6 months a power substation was built in their yard. Never take the work of the Realtor when it comes to this information.

You need to research yourself, looking at facts, not “I think”.
Richmond doesn’t have any power lines, or a power substation. Richmond is surrounded by an abundance of Dry, Wet, and shallow lake prairies, along with large areas of trees, with wildlife that some need to become accustomed. Bear, (which travels weekly through our backyard), bobcats, coyotes, With a pitch and putt at most southern end.
