I think there were some studies showing it is noisiest from the 5th to 8th floor, assuming there are trees or other low rise structures along the street to block off the traffic noise for the lower floors. I have a 9th floor unit and it's noisier than my 3rd floor neighbour.
Advantage of lower floors is you get to enjoy the greeneries directly from your windows without the need to peer down. To me I will either get very high floor with unblocked views , or low floors with greenery views. Mid floors, unless it's unblocked, is often neither here nor there
i hv purchased 1 MM unit at lorong 24 geylang...dunno whether can lease out to caucasian expat or not....
Pardon me to tell the truth:
"1) Sound travel upwards.
2) The higher the units, the nosier.
3) So if you stay next to express way, the quietest unit will be ground level."
Above 3 statements are all MYTHs!
They defy sound theory which is based on facts, while above 3 statements are just myths and based on friction stories.
Low floor for me. Easier to sell as quantum is low. Better rental yield.
Theoretically .. The closer you are to the sound source the clearer you can hear it.. But for units along the highways or expressways, there are usually trees and foliage along the perimeter to block off or reflect some of the traffic noise. So they may seem quieter than those in the mid-high floors..
