Noise emitted from road, rail and air traffic and their effects on sleep
TLDR
The equivalent noise level seems to be a suitable predictor for subjectively evaluated sleep quality but not for physiological sleep disturbances, where physiological sleep parameters were most severely affected by rail noise.About:

Aircraft Noise Exposure and Subjective Sleep Quality: The Results of the DEBATS Study in France
TL;DR: Findings contribute to the overall evidence suggesting that aircraft noise exposure at nighttime may decrease the subjective amount and quality of sleep.

TL;DR: It is suggested that WTN does not significantly impact key indicators of objective sleep, and well‐controlled experimental studies using ecologically valid WTN, objective and psychometrically validated sleep assessments are needed to provide conclusive evidence regarding WTN impacts on sleep.

Noise levels in lairages for cattle, sheep and pigs in abattoirs in England and Wales.
TL;DR: Levels of sound intensity were measured over periods of 24 hours in 34 abattoir lairages in England and Wales, and in general, the pig lairages were the noisiest, with spot peak recordings of up to 110 dB(A).

Determining physiological reaction probabilities to noise events during sleep
Mark Brink,Mathias Basner,Christoph Schierz,M. Spreng,Klaus Scheuch,Georg F. Bauer,W.A. Stahel +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce two definitions of reaction probability, discuss their advantages and disadvantages, and develop a model of the influence of the time window duration in which reactions of sleepers are screened on the calculated reaction probability.

Estimating health related costs and savings from balcony acoustic design for road traffic noise
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-faceted study was conducted with the objective of estimating the potential fiscal savings in annoyance and sleep disturbance related health costs due to providing improved building acoustic design standards.

A Manual of Standardized Terminology, Techniques and Scoring System for Sleep Stages of Human Subjects.
TL;DR: Techniques of recording, scoring, and doubtful records are carefully considered, and Recommendations for abbreviations, types of pictorial representation, order of polygraphic tracings are suggested.
Directive 2003/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present technical prescriptions concerning the design and construction of agricultural or forestry tractors, as regards the rollover protection structures, as well as the approximation of the laws of the Member States to enable the EC typeapproval procedure provided for in Directive 2003/37/EC to be applied in respect of each type of tractor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Annoyance from transportation noise: Relationships with exposure metrics DNL and DENL and their confidence intervals
TL;DR: Better estimates of the confidence intervals due to the improved model of the relationship between annoyance and noise exposure are provided, which is easier to use for practical calculations than the model itself.
