When I lived in Detroit I was 2 blocks off Telegraph Rd, Formerly US-24, now M-24 so I heard Semi's bouncing down the road all the time or nearly all the time.
IN addition I lived on the only WIDE non primary (Telegraph is a primary) road.. Wide enough for two cars to pass each other in opposite directions with cars parked on both curbs (most of the city the roads are not that wide) so I was the on the primary FIre/Police/EMS route since people on the multi-lane 24 hear a siren they stop dead completly blocking the road so Fire/Police/EMS take my street.
Could be why the noise when I visit Las Vegas and stay at Main Street's RV lot does not bother me.
Under a freeway (elevated) exit... next to EMS.
