We are about 0.4 of a mile from the Turnpike. The noise has never been an issue. Vehicle traffic can be detected at times, but it is nothing more than a "white noise" to us. Not once has it made me rethink buying in Citrus Grove. Maybe I need hearing aids.

Why would you buy a house by the turnpike? You had to know there would be noise.

I've read the threads where the original people in Linden wanted a wall built along the Turnpike, so I know the noise issue has been discussed numerous times.

On most days and nights, the noise is there, but it is OK -- I would rather have no interstate noise, but I can live with it. From time to time there is no noise (Winds blowing noise the other way). And, at other times, like this morning, you could not pay me to buy a house near the Turnpike. Had I been looking this morning, I would asked the agent about nice used houses further north!

When we moved in, during the Summer the noise was loud at times. This Winter seems worse. Further, more houses have been built between us and turnpike. We thought it would dampen the noise.

For the weather people (enthusiasts, club members, etc.) what is your take on the Turnpike noise and weather?
having been in Florida since 06, that's the #1 reason we didn't buy over there. The #2 is for when a major happens on that Turnpike and the entire thing is shut down. Good luck.

there are a lot of houses being resold in the southern portion. The noise level could be part of the reason. THINK before you buy.

Surely you’ve been asked this question: WHY did you buy there? I lived near a major northern airport. I traveled a lot so I never complained… and I had ZERO patience for those who did.

One of the only benefits of losing your hearing.

My take on noise from freeway.
Anybody would be foolish and not do their research before purchasing a high ticket house WITHIN A MILE of the freeway is beyond comprehension. It's comparable to folks who purchase next to a Loud Pickle Ball recreation center. It's just dumb.

Just curious why you think a “major” that shuts down the turnpike is worse in the south of 44 area? If it’s shut down I would think it effects anyone using the turnpike.

I live 1/2 mile from the turn pike. The noise level changes and it subject to wind, temperature, humidity and amount of greened up vegetation. It is different levels every day and changes during the day. It ranges from you can't hear it whatsoever to very loud and you can hear it in your house. At 1/2 mile it is not enough bother that I would move or buy in a different location. Closer than I am now and I think I would not like it at all. I also realize that if more homes are built or strip malls between me and the turn pike that the sound most likely will be worse due to more hard surfaces bouncing the sounds waves all over the place instead of vegetation dampening it.

Depends on where the “major” is. More often than not, I see 301 as the bailout point.
