[quote=Anonymous]As with most sweeping generalizations, there is some truth and some lies in the OP's broad assertion. It all depends on the definition of "suburbs" for this purpose. Close-in areas like Alexandria and Arlington have high population and traffic densities, older homes which aren't always well-soundproofed, proximity to National Airport and Metro, etc. Some areas in more distant suburbs also share those traits, but it certainly depends on exactly where you're speaking of. Clifton, Great Falls, and other areas with little commercial area, smaller roads, less traffic, etc. are generally very tranquil. Houses backing up to 95 or 395, or adjacent to fire stations, not so much. The specifics matter. Bottom line, if you want a quiet area, they exist - just buy a house accordingly and don't complain later when you bought something in proximity to obvious sources of frequent noise pollution.
