The concept of urban sustainability involves complex issues such as civil services, social participation, resilience, productivity, health, and development into a multilevel approach of environmental, social, and productivity sectors. Viewing environmental noise as part of urban dynamics is essential. However it is almost absent or underestimated in most current environmental, social, and health policies in the developing world. Efforts to investigate noise pollution toward analysis, regulation, fulfillment, inspection, and fines contribute in a positive way to improve acoustic quality within urban communities. Therefore the ultimate goal for decision makers is to consider noise as a key issue when establishing or discussing management policies of urban areas and to transfer the approach to lower levels with preventive and educational measures, rather than restrictive or prohibited, in order to attain sustainability of urban communities.
