Lion Noise from Habitat Compaints in Palmer Rd. Communities? (Sarasota: how much, buying a home)

[Gator227]

I am in the process of buying a home in Meadow Walk and have a friend moving to the Enclave. I was just told a horror story that the Big Cat Habitat accross the street has lions and tigers the roar all day long and wake you up at 5am and can be heard for 5 miles. Can anyone in the area confirm this I am a light sleeper and may reevaluate living in the area because of this.

I am not sure how much noise you can hear from there. I would ask some neighbors in Meadow Walk if you are planning to move there. They would be able to tell you.

I don't know about that particular area but grew up near a zoo and would listen to the lions "moan" every evening at dusk. I look back at it and love that I experienced that. When I was young the sound became just something of a "white noise" that would relax me and help me fall asleep.
