The mean street noise level was between 74-75 dB, exceeding the maximum 55 dB for neighborhoods. The street noise level was significantly negatively correlated with residents’ satisfaction. The study made recommendations for regulating both outdoor and indoor environments for improving the elderly living conditions in high-density urban areas with hot humid climates.
