Environmental noise has significant effects on urban sustainable development and quality of life. The reporting of noise complaints is carried out in England as a part of environment legislation, providing data for government decision-making. The relationships between noise complaints, a part of urban conflict, and socio-economic spatial inequalities are significant. This study explores the relationships between noise complaints and socio-economic factors at the city/region level. The noise complaints and socio-economic datasets from the government’s open source data provide input for statistical analysis across all districts and unitary local authorities in England. The results suggest that the impacts of socio-economic factors – including demographic, job-related, property, and deprivation aspects – on noise complaints are generally significant. In addition, cities/regions with a higher proportion of young and single residents tend to have more noise complaints, as do cities/regions with diverse ethnicities and religions. High-density cities/regions with higher unemployment rates are likely to receive more noise complaints. More deprived cities/regions are also prone to an increased noise complaint rate.

环境噪声对城市可持续发展和生活质量具有重大影响。噪声投诉的报告在英格兰进行，是环境立法的一部分，为政府决策提供数据。噪音投诉，城市冲突的一部分与社会经济空间不平等之间的关系非常重要。这项研究探索了城市/地区层面的噪音投诉与社会经济因素之间的关系。来自政府开放源数据的噪音投诉和社会经济数据集为英格兰所有地区和统一地方当局的统计分析提供了输入。结果表明，社会经济因素（包括人口，与工作相关，财产和剥夺方面）对噪音投诉的影响通常很大。此外，年轻人和单身居民比例较高的城市/地区，以及不同种族和宗教信仰的城市/地区，往往会有更多的噪音投诉。失业率较高的高密度城市/地区可能会收到更多的噪音投诉。较贫困的城市/地区也容易增加噪音投诉率。
