The occurrence of violent behaviors can be highly related to noise pollution‏. The correlation coefficient of the model (0.760) was calculated, Which represents the ability of the model to predict the purpose of the study. therefore, taking actions to control and reduce noise pollution and negative consequences in urban spaces in particular in the residential context, is essential for the desired future and in the direction of sustainable development.
