[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4382463, member: 26737"] Only you can decide if the noise is something you can tolerate, but I can tell you that for nearly 50 years I lived either on a cul-de-sac or out in the country, and I’m currently living just off a major 6-lane arterial road in Tulsa. I’m also not far from a major hospital, so we often have emergency vehicles running up and down the road. You’d think the road noise would be bothersome, considering how little I heard it for most of my life, but it didn’t take long for it to just become part of the background. There’s the occasional annoyance when you’re trying to go to sleep and some jackwagon on a donorcycle decides that the stoplight is the Christmas tree at a drag strip, but even that is rare. One thing that Tulsa has done to mitigate the sound from its major arterial streets and highways is to build walls between the roads and the neighborhoods (though not where I’m currently living). If you decide to stay, and if they decide to widen the road to accommodate the traffic, you might get together with your neighbors and talk to the city (county?) about doing that. [/QUOTE]
