You need to listen at different times of day AND NIGHT for a week or two.
If you drive over right after a nice "cleansing" rainstorm, the insulators
might behave just long enough for you to assume the noise is acceptable.
Then a week later after some dry windy weather the growl gradually increases
to 30dB over S-9!  Also, photo-sensors that turn devices, like streetlights
etc., on and off can be a real pain at sunrise and sunset, i.e. GREYLINE!
The local school ball field night lights at a Friday evening game,
the church on the corner lights up their steeple on sundays.
etc.............

If you buy, you're going to be there day/night for a long time. It'll pay
off to spend at least a week making sure.
