I live a block from 466 and a block from Morse, but there are a dozen houses and lots of trees between me and them, and I’m usually in the house with the windows closed. Even outside, a quiet conversation isn’t a problem. But do your homework!

Every block between you and the freeway helps. Every house between you and the freeway blocks some noise. If you plan to sit out on a patio, make sure your house is between the patio and the freeway. And understand that you will still hear it, always. What matters is if you find it bearable.

I live in Deluna roughly five streets from the turnpike. 90% of the time the noise is not noticeable. I did ensure I purchased a home with the lanai facing away from the turnpike, so that was important mitigation.

Our neighbor one street closer has their lanai facing the TP and the noise seems to be amplified on the lanai. Not bad during the day but wouldn't want to have a coffee in the early morning out there.

As others have said, you need to spend some time in the neighborhoods at different times of the day. Look at placement of your house, and just not in consideration of turnpike noise. Consider pickleball courts, other main roads which are often just as noisy as the TP, proximity to shopping centers (deliveries), and golf courses (mowing). There are other factors that you won't know until you move in, such as neighbors with wind chimes, TVs on their lanai, loud music.

Deluna (and Richmond, St. Johns, Hawkins, Citrus Grove, Cason Hammock) is right on top of the turnpike. May want to reconsider. As others suggested, go to different neighborhoods at various times of day to make a better-informed choice. Noise levels are a personal opinion - they bother people at different levels or not at all.

Few places in the Villages are free from traffic nose.

Perhaps park your car and walk around the area of the house you might be considering using a location map to actually see how far the turnpike is.
.
As well stay far away from the Prison as the sounds and lights are horrendous to nearby residents. Again no tell by any TV Sales peoples.
.
As we moved out 2 years ago after living there for 12 years some things that brought us to "The Villages" were taken away.
.
Hope you do make a worthwhile decision.
