TLDR
Over the past 30 years, research into environmental noise and sleep has focused on different situations and environments, and therefore the findings are variable, but it still seems necessary for some fundamental questions to be answered on whether environmental noise has long-term detrimental effects on health and quality of life and, if so, what these effects are for night-time, noise-exposed populations.About:

You Zou,Xing Yi,Jian‑Gong Zhang,Xing‑Fa Liu,Kun Yang,Yong‑Gang Kong,Bo‑Kui Xiao,Ze‑Zhang Tao,Shi‑Ming Chen +8 more
TL;DR: Exposure to transformer noise with a sound level limit of 65 dB sound pressure level (SPL) or 60 dB SPL for 8 weeks (10 h/day) had no significant impact on the behavior and neurophysiology of SD rats.

Environmental Noise and Health
TL;DR: A systematic overview of the existing evidence investigating the health effects of environmental noise is provided in this article , where the authors show that the after-effects of noise-induced sleep disturbance are associated with numerous healthrelated problems including fatigue, reduced cognitive and physical performance, increased anxiety and negative emotional states such as anger and depression.

A Mobile Environmental Monitoring Station For Sustainable Cities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a mobile environmental monitoring station to evaluate the urban environment, which measures the following urban environmental parameters: environmental noise (Leq, L10 and L90), air quality (PM10, PM2.5 and Total Suspended Particles) and meteorological parameters (air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and wind direction).

Metal workers: exposure to chemicals and noise caused by using incorrect safety measures
Karin Reinhold,Lea Pallon +1 more
TL;DR: Several safety measures can be implemented to protect metal workers’ health against noise and hazardous welding fumes including noise screens, local ventilation, organizational measures (such as educational intervention, providing chemical material safety data sheets) and adequate personal protective equipment.

Self-reported sleep disturbances in employed women.
TL;DR: There were higher incidences of sleep disturbances and excessive sleepiness for women working night and rotating shifts, but age and family factors, rather than caffeine and alcohol intake, contributed to the differences in types ofSleep disturbances these women experienced.

TL;DR: Many acute symptoms showed an increase with noise, and this was particularly evident for waking at night, irritability, depression, difficulty in getting to sleep, swollen ankles, burns/cuts/minor accidents, and skin troubles.
