This is spot on. Even if you get used to it (or put in fountains to blanket the noise), it drastically effects the future price.
I'm guessing your first or second time home owners. But most of us who are no longer in our 20's or 30's will gladly pay $50K more and live away from the freeway. So you'll have trouble selling it period and even if you do it will not appreciate as much as other properties.
