3Or here in slightly more detail. Once you get to a level where you can start reading sentences like the one above, you should really consider reaching for a 国語辞典 first.– PhilippeJun 22, 2017 at 13:21

"In addition to that" is the best meaning for that in that sentence.
When I put なおも喧騒 into google translate it says: "still noisy", so I take it to mean "still." Best I could find.

Your interpretation is correct.
なおもgenerally means "still". Possible synonyms would includeいまだに,依然として, etc.– user23888Jul 10, 2017 at 10:18 -
I agree with user23888.– user1118Aug 9, 2017 at 11:36
