<p>The article presents the results of research on the comfort and acoustic climate of urban housing structures. Acoustic comfort has been recognized as a hallmark of responsible urbanization and a healthy living environment. The research concerned the urban interior of a multi-family housing complex. The paper presents a general outline of the methodology of performing individual stages of the research. In order to compare, the research was carried out in two housing complexes different in terms of urban form. The impact of selected sound sources was investigated by means of field tests and computer simulations. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that the comfort and acoustic climate have been identified. It was found that the urban form and the distribution of the service program have an impact on the level of acoustic comfort. It was confirmed that it is possible to identify elements that negatively affect the acoustic climate in a residential complex and determine how to modify them in order to improve the acoustic climate. The presented noise maps and 3D noise maps of the elevation can be used as a background for further research on the acoustic climate of the residential environment.</p>
