Agree with DLM2000...
It will require some digging and on the ground 'time' to determine what impact AVL planes arriving and departing will have on their potential building site.
And, everyone will have a different comfort zone/noise level situ...
Fwiw, I have played golf at Broadmoor, just south of AVL, several times and often the planes are literally overhead with 'rolling' waves of 'wind' coming off the wings.
Have also spent some time in the former BMW dlr lot close by, and at the Lowes, et al shopping center just north: at any given time the landings/departures are readily apparent visually and auditory.
No idea of the OP's land search in 'South Asheville', but a look at GOOG maps may offer some idea of their intended 'place' vs proximity to airport.
Hellsbells, even at our high elevation Mtn home the AVL commercial jets and the military planes that 'skim' our tree tops offer some 'noise' and exciting plane spotting, and our Waynesville mtn house is 40 miles from AVL by road and probably 30+ as the planes fly.
Not a prob for us, but my point is the planes are 'up there' and plane traffic is back to normal post Covid, and increasing by the month, vis a vis more AVL flights.
As people have mentioned, the big issue is going to be the traffic on the interstate. We went to Greenville around 3 on Saturday - it was busy, but not slowed, then. It was still quite busy after 10 or so when we came back. I would hate to be commuting through that or having to go through it with any regularity.

I guess it depends on what you’re used to. We go to Asheville (from Hendersonville) frequently and relative to many of the places we’ve lived/visited (e.g., Atlanta, Houston, Baton Rouge, Los Angeles), the traffic is minuscule. It will slow down in places and then pick back up; I suspect this is caused by people slowing down because of the construction. When it’s completed, I doubt there will be any problem. It does seem like it’s taking a long time to complete though.

IIRC, parts of the interstate have been under construction for at least five years. I used to go to Greenville at least once a month - it was bad then. The biggest issue is that the construction going for so many miles.
No, it's nothing like Atlanta traffic, but it's bad for the area.
I am relocating to North Carolina. Wanting to purchase land in South Asheville area. I know the airport is nearby, what is the plane traffic like now a days? Trains are listed as a possible source of noise through out Western North Carolina as well on the real estate contract. Any help is appreciated.
Thank You,
Terri
Atlanta is a world unto itself in terms of traffic - no comparison. The issue raised by the OP was not vehicle traffic though, it's air traffic.
