Noise in Phuket can come from aircraft, roads and nightlife. Monitoring is sparse in some areas, so compare the location of each reading with the place you plan to stay. There is no single island-wide verdict.
Check where, when and how the sound was measured. A station reading, complaint and model each provide different evidence. Road, aircraft and workplace noise can also use different measures. Use the linked references to understand the record before applying it to a room or street.
