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

Noise sensitivity and diminished health: testing moderators and mediators of the relationship
TL;DR: Noise sensitivity and mental health complaints (anxiety and depression) was accounted for by the variance explained by neuroticism, and this study provides considerable understanding of the relationship between noise sensitivity and health problems.

The influence of acoustical and non-acoustical factors on short-term annoyance due to aircraft noise in the field - The COSMA study.
TL;DR: Consideration of noise metrics related to the number of fly-overs and individual adjustment of noise metric can improve the prediction of short-term annoyance compared to models using equivalent outdoor levels only.

TL;DR: This study provides a quantitative estimate of the association between total environmental noise levels estimated using an LUR model and sleep disturbance from transportation noise andSleep disturbance increased with proximity to transportation noise sources (railway, airplane and road traffic) and with increasing LNight values.

Neighbour noise annoyance is associated with various mental and physical health symptoms: results from a nationwide study among individuals living in multi-storey housing.
TL;DR: A strong association was observed between neighbour noise annoyance and being very bothered by pain or discomfort in the shoulder or neck, and in the arms, hands, legs, knees, hips or joints, and among men, no associations were observed.

Effects of self-reported sensitivity and road-traffic noise levels on the immune system.
TL;DR: Noise appears to have the largest effect on IL-12 levels as well as the population and activity of NKT cells, and cortisol levels are more influenced by the subject's sensitivity to noise than to the level of chronic road traffic noise.

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.
