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

A window into the brain mechanisms associated with noise sensitivity
TL;DR: The results show that high noise sensitivity is associated with altered sound feature encoding and attenuated discrimination of sound noisiness in the auditory cortex, which makes a step towards objective measures of noise sensitivity instead of self-evaluation questionnaires and the development of strategies to prevent negative effects of noise on the susceptible population.

TL;DR: There is evidence of “very low” quality that increasing exposure to road traffic noise may be associated with depression and anxiety, taking into account an overall quality assessment for the included studies.

TL;DR: Infrasound sound near wind turbines does not exceed audibility thresholds, and low-frequency sound do not present unique health risks, and annoyance seems more strongly related to individual characteristics than noise from turbines.

Field study on the impact of nocturnal road traffic noise on sleep: The importance of in- and outdoor noise assessment, the bedroom location and nighttime noise disturbances
TL;DR: It is found that subjects living and sleeping in noisy regions correctly perceive their environment in terms of noise exposure and reported an overall discomfort due to traffic noise, and a clear relationship between noise and sleep outcomes could be established.

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: 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.
