Default Do not compare a South Florida house to a TV house

South FL houses are built to withstand hurricanes to CAT3, or even CAT5. I moved from a house in Naples to a TV Designer house... no comparison. I'm not sure replacing your windows with hurricane windows will be good enough to lessen outside noise. The walls don't even compare. Doors open in instead of out. Garage doors are flimsier. I can go on and on.
