I didn't mention earlier that I live very close to the interstate, speed limit 55, typical driving speed 65-70. My backyard does not border the highway, but the houses down the street do. When we first moved here, there were trees between here and the road. Then they built a sound barrier wall which honestly doesn't do a whole lot more than the trees did.

We hear road sounds all day long. It has never been a problem. It is generally white noise to us.
