TLDR
In this article, the authors found that sound exposure levels of individual noise intrusions were much more closely associated with awakenings than long-term noise exposure levels, and the slope of the relationship between awakening and sound exposure level was rather shallow.Abstract:
Behaviorally confirmed awakenings were recorded during nighttime hours for periods of approximately one month in 45 homes of 82 test participants. Measurements of awakening and of both indoor and outdoor noise exposure were made for a total of 632 subject nights near a military airfield, 783 subject nights near a civil airport, and 472 subject nights in neighborhoods with community noise exposure of nonaircraft origin. Sound exposure levels of individual noise intrusions were much more closely associated with awakenings than long‐term noise exposure levels. The slope of the relationship between awakening and sound exposure level was rather shallow, however. Although the present findings do not resemble those of laboratory studies of noise‐induced sleep interference, they are in good agreement with the results of other field studies.read more

Road traffic noise impacts sleep continuity in suburban residents: Exposure-response quantification of noise-induced awakenings from vehicle pass-bys at night
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors conducted a field study in residential areas where road traffic was the dominant noise source, and noise events were attributable to separate vehicle pass-bys, and established an exposure-response relationship for the awakening probability due to intermittent road traffic noise in suburban residents.
Modeling Aircraft Noise-Induced Sleep Disturbance
TL;DR: To compare sleep disturbance model predictions,ight operations data from United States airports were obtained and sleep disturbance in communities was predicted for different operations scenarios using the modified Markov model, the nonlinear dynamic model, and other aircraft noise awakening models.
