TLDR
The results suggest that alterations of subjective evaluation of sleep were determined by physical parameters of the noise but modified by individual factors like noise sensitivity.Abstract:
In order to determine the influence of noise sensitivity on sleep, subjective sleep quality, annoyance, and performance after nocturnal exposure to traffic noise, 12 women and 12 men (age range, 19-28 years) were observed during four consecutive nights over a three weeks period. After a habituation night, the participants were exposed with weekly permuted changes to air, rail and road traffic noise. Of the four nights, one was a quiet night (32 dBA), while three were noisy nights with exposure to equivalent noise levels of 39, 44, and 50 dBA in a permuted order. The traffic noise caused alterations of most of the physiological parameters, subjective evaluation of sleep, annoyance, and performance. Correlations were found between noise sensitivity and subjective sleep quality in terms of worsened restoration, decreased calmness, difficulty to fall asleep, and body movements. The results suggest that alterations of subjective evaluation of sleep were determined by physical parameters of the noise but modified by individual factors like noise sensitivity.read more

Nonauditory Effects of Noise
TL;DR: It is without doubt that air traffic noise has the potential to annoy more than road and rail transport noise, and the middle-aged are more annoyed by sound than children and the elderly.
Assessment and Mitigation of the Effects of Noise on Habitability in Deep Space Environments: Report on Non-Auditory Effects of Noise
TL;DR: In this paper, non-auditory effects of noise relevant to habitable volume requirements in cislunar space are discussed. And the relevance of research performed on earth to the space environment, the quality of the measurement metrics used, and potentially significant research gaps are reviewed.

Validating a short Bulgarian version of a psychometric instrument for multidimensional noise sensitivity assessment.
TL;DR: NoiSeQSF is a reliable estimate for global NS and NS related to sleep quality and might prove useful to experts in environmental hygiene, urban planning and occupational diseases when dealing with noise-impaired occupational, social or psycho-physiological functioning.

Study on Annoyance and Sleep Disturbance Induced by Combined Noises from Road Traffic and Viaduct Rail Transit
TL;DR: In this paper, a face-to-face survey was carried out among 1433 local residents aging from 15 to 75 years, and the relationship between the percentage of highly annoyed (%HA), sleep disturbance and acoustical/non-acoustical factors (Ldn, age, gender, residence time, time at home, etc.) were analyzed, respectively.

TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.

TL;DR: Techniques of recording, scoring, and doubtful records are carefully considered, and Recommendations for abbreviations, types of pictorial representation, order of polygraphic tracings are suggested.

TL;DR: The overall picture is one of a disparate range of impairment following sleep loss and sleep fragmentation, with executive impairment appears to be more closely related to hypoxaemic events than daytime sleepiness.

TL;DR: A review of the relationship between noise exposure and the subjective reactions to it was conducted by as mentioned in this paper, which indicated that remarkably similar results have been obtained across different nationalities with different measurement techniques.

Noise, Noise Sensitivity and Psychiatric Disorder: Epidemiological and Psychophysiological Studies
TL;DR: Noise sensitivity levels did fall with recovery from depression but still remained high, suggesting an underlying high level of noise sensitivity, and was related to higher tonic skin conductance and heart rate and greater defence/startle responses during noise exposure in the laboratory.
