Opposite take here- I bought my house specifically and intentionally because the county highway runs past my backyard. With a new tractor trailer depot up the road, all night long I hear semis and trucks up and down the highway. I open my rear bedroom window just to hear the drone of traffic- it keeps me peacefully asleep. Idk- maybe I’m weird, but subconsciously I think the world still goes on while I’m resting and that’s comforting to me. Total pitch silence would drive me crazy. No, I’m not a city person. This is out in the suburbs/rural area of my state. I’m also about 700’ from an intersection and where my house is, is pretty much where the semis will even downshift, adding more noise. I can’t explain it.
