I heard that astronomers buy houses where there are fewer city lights, where the air is dry and still. The HAM folk look for accommodation away from EMI sources, especially power lines, and where local rules allow large antenna and with a good line of sight.
What about audiophiles, where should they live ?
Looking for good mains power, stay away from industrial power noise sources, stay away from strong radio transmitters. Ideally be close to a glacial lake for cooling of that Class A monster. Are there audiophile communities in these spots?

Far enough from the neighbors that they don't complain when you crank up a few hundred watts of vintage rock into 97 dB speakers with 15 inch woofers.
Ambient noise level rules.
So I guess it's the equivalent of the astronomer's ambient light level.

I moved here for the dark skies (I'm a keen astronomer) and so I can sit outside with all the patio doors open blasting music in the summer! 🙂
As a student I had the pleasure of living in a couple of houses in middle of light industrial estates - ie. after hours and on weekends = no neighbours 😀
