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:

Maximum pass-by noise levels from vehicles in real road traffic streams: comparison to modeled levels and measurement protocol issues
TL;DR: This paper reports on a secondary analysis of a large sample of maximum pass-by noise data that was collected in Brisbane, Australia, which provides the noise level maxima (LAFmax) of the pass- by of some 85,000 vehicles in service on urban arterials and motorways.
Part 1: state-of-science and requirement profile for consistent context-sensitive integration of traffic noise in LCA
TL;DR: A requirement profile for a method to include traffic noise in LCA is defined and the compliance of the five existing methods with this profile is assessed and necessary cornerstones for a model for noise effects of generic road transports that meets all requirements are identified.

Development of a sleep disturbance index (SDI) for the assessment of noise-induced sleep disturbances
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a sleep disturbance index (SDI) which allows a reliable estimate of physiological sleep disturbances due to environmental influences such as noise, and verified its reliability by application of the SDI to a quiet night for each of 82 persons.

Experiments on the time frame of temporally limited traffic curfews to prevent noise induced sleep disturbances
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify a time frame for traffic curfews to prevent noise induced sleep disturbances and identify the best protection and persons with corresponding bed times profit the most.

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.
