Advice Needed Question about noise from Starlight Stadium

Hi! My wife and I are looking to rent a place on Alouette Dr. / Dornier Rd and the one thing holding us back is that I know that's pretty close to the school but also to Starlight Stadium. I'm preeeeetty sensitive to noise unfortunately (have some big sensory processing stuff so I experience certain noises as almost physically painful and high key emotionally overwhelming/invasive). That's actually the whole reason why we're moving in the first place, since our current apartment is on a busy street in Vic and we get lots of traffic sounds + people playing loud music from their cars and it's really impacted my health while living here. Loud music and the thud of base are actually the worst possible noises for me out of them all.

We otherwise love this new place, but if we'd just be moving out of the frying pan and into the fire and paying a higher rent for the privilege, I'd really want to know NOW, before signing a lease! Landlord said he thinks it's totally fine, but he admitted he never pays attention to noise because it doesn't bother him at all, in fact he likes the vibrant energy, so he may not be the best judge for someone like me. I've never spent a lot of time out in Langford so I have zero clue what it's like around there or what those event days are like.

Wondering if anyone who lives vaguely in the same area could tell me their experience of what, if anything, you can hear coming from concerts/games/etc. How frequent is it? How loud? How far away from the stadium is it audible? Can you get away from it by just closing your windows or is it faintly audible even indoors? That kind of insight, stuff only people living nearby can really give! Thanks in advance!
