There is little airplane noise in San Mateo, it is not in approach or departure paths for SFO. Also it is not close enough to get takeoff noise. BTW, Fremont is in approach paths for OAK, in case that is an issue for you. That being said, the commute to Berkeley from San Mateo would be tedious, so it doesn't seem like a great option. If commuting is your prime concern, my pick would be cities on the Peninsula from Millbrae up to SF, where both CalTrain and BART are available. You can take CalTrain and she can take BART.

Oh, good to know it's not noisy on the east bay side. Last time I rode BART, I took Caltrain from Santa Clara to the Milbrae station, and took BART to whichever station is the one where you catch a bus so SFSU. I kept a friend company who was applying to go to college there who lived in my building.

That was several years ago, but that stretch of BART was so noisy, we gave up trying to talk to each other. The Caltrain ride was really pleasant, though.
