Well, I for one concur that the highway is kind of a "continuos source" of noise, but that is precisely the reason I actually prefer it over that of tracks/trains, and I think most people do too... It doesn't really matter which "exhaust" technology is used; at highway speeds that is the most irrelevant part of the noise (the pollution side is another story), with the air/wooshing sounds dominating heavily.

Where I live I can hear both trains, a nearby busy road and the highway. The trains are really not a problem, there is a well defined maximum and they gradually ramp up and down in noise level but the road & highway have me sitting up straight at times wondering what on earth is going on. Usually either a truck that uses its air brake or a bunch of motorcycles without damper that suddenly open up. Especially at night that can be enough to wake me up and good luck trying to sleep after that.
