Construction actually can be noisier than normal traffic....

I'd only hear trucks downshifting if I were on the expressway, at an
exit, maybe.... the sound doesn't travel that far away from the road...

We are only a couple miles from our airport... we only hear the planes
on a quiet night, or, as you say, when weather conditions change the
flight patterns.... ;)
