Never lived in a high rise apartment before but I'm looking to rent or purchase one. The specific one I'm been considering will be on a 14th floor, facing a state highway (the building is still under construction). My question is, what noise levels can I expect? Does height mitigate much of the noise, or would the noise from traffic get extremely annoying?

you want to pay extra for it to take LONGER to get from your apartment to the street?

Not really, but that's what is currently available near my workplace. On the other hand it would cut down drastically on commute times.

8th floor dweller here. The noise from the nearby highway is much louder than on the ground. But it is only noticeable when the windows are open, so I guess it depends on if the windows are good sound insulator or if you like to open your windows.
