TLDR
It is concluded that a silent environment is required to maintain the duration of rapid-eye-movement sleep, even though rapid- Eye-Movement sleep is stable and is not influenced easily by noise.Abstract:
Several experiments conducted by the authors revealed certain characteristic changes in stage rapid-eye-movement sleep in response to noise exposure. Continuous and all-night exposure to noise first decreased the percentage of rapid-eye-movement stage at Leg 45dBA. In contrast, the threshold of shifts from the rapid-eye-movement stage in response to intermittent noise was higher than thresholds noted for slow-wave sleep or stage-2 sleep. We concluded that these results indicated that a silent environment is required to maintain the duration of rapid-eye-movement sleep, even though rapid-eye-movement sleep is stable and is not influenced easily by noise.read more

Effect of occupational noise on the nocturnal sleep architecture of healthy subjects.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that workers exposed to loud background occupational noise are at an increased risk of having poor quality sleep but adaptation to this effect probably takes place after a few years.

Sleep Environment Recommendations for Future Spaceflight Vehicles
TL;DR: There are wide individual differences in the preferred sleep environment; therefore modifiable sleeping compartments are necessary to ensure all crewmembers are able to select personalized configurations for optimal sleep.

TL;DR: It was found that by diligently applying fundamental principles and methodologies of sleep and neuroimaging science, performing all-night fMRI sleep studies is feasible, and it is envisioned that other laboratories can adopt the core features of this protocol to obtain similar results.

Extra-auditory effects of noise in laboratory animals: the relationship between noise and sleep
TL;DR: Noise-related sleep disturbances may arise due to imbalance of the sleep-wake cycle and malfunctioning of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis which may both contribute to the development of pathology.

The effect of room acoustics on the sleep quality of healthy sleepers
Ingo Fietze,Charlotte Barthe,Matthias Hölzl,Martin Glos,Sandra Zimmermann,Ralf Bauer-Diefenbach,Thomas Penzel +6 more
TL;DR: For healthy sleepers, room acoustics influence the microstructure of sleep, without subjective morning benefit, and reduction of noise level and of reverberation leads to an increase in the amount of deep sleep and to reduction of nocturnal arousal events, which is especially important for poor sleepers.

Tinnitus. I: Auditory mechanisms: a model for tinnitus and hearing impairment.
TL;DR: The concept of auditory retraining as part of the habituation process, and interaction with the prefrontal cortex and limbic system is presented as a central model which emphasizes the importance of the emotional significance and meaning of tinnitus.
