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:

Work stress, worries, and pain interact synergistically with modelled traffic noise on cross-sectional associations with self-reported sleep problems.

TL;DR: Work stress, pain, and different worries were independently associated with general sleep problems and showed in general no synergistic interaction with traffic noise, while synergistic effects between traffic noise and psychological factors were found with regard to sleep problems attributed to traffic noise.

Road traffic noise exposure and annoyance: a cross-sectional study among adult Indian population.
TL;DR: Both age and period of residence were significant predictors of annoyance and noise exposure near roadways and self-reported annoyance was more for male subjects, among the study subjects.

Distribution of the Noise Level Maxima from the Pass-by of Vehicles in Urban Road Traffic Streams
TL;DR: In this paper, the distributions of noise level maxima, LAFmax, generated during the pass-by of over 85 000 vehicles in service on urban arterials and motorways were measured under normal traffic and vehicle operating conditions on multilane roadways.
The urban soundscape: a different perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the opportunities and points at indicators and numerical simulation that can be advantageous when applying the ideas presented and point out indicators that can benefit from applying these ideas.

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.

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.
