Not all areas are loud like that. Actually I would say most where I have been aren't.
But I often end up wearing earbuds or headphones and listening to music while I work anyway.
White noise from a fan can help with noise. Also good for ventilation.
You can also consider changing your schedule. If you get rotated around to night shift like I am then it's going to be quieter while you are awake.
If it's that bad where you are then you should move. I have moved multiple times. Not because of noise pollution but mainly for things like saving money.
You can also try going to a coffee shop or a library. Or co-working space. Many co-working spaces have actual offices you can rent.
There are also e-ink things like the Remarkable tablet which you can view the screen outside if you really need to escape.
There are also double-pane or windows designed to limit noise pollution.
An area that is more suburban or even rural may be quieter. A lot of places in this part of Texas have apartments that are actual single story and only share one or two walls. They have not been very noisy.
If you are fully remote then you have the option of going to a cabin or RV in the middle of the woods if you want.
If you can afford it, why not take advantage of AirBnb to find a quiet place to work for a few weeks? You could leave tomorrow.
