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:

Night-time decibel hell: mapping noise exposure zones and individual annoyance ratings in an urban environment in ghana.
TL;DR: The results show that all neighbourhoods where churches were situated had at least one location with significant risk of noise-induced hearing loss, however, there was no statistically significant relationship between neighbourhoods where religious noise exposure was the highest and where noise annoyance was the lowest.

TL;DR: In this paper, an older African-American sample (n=231) tested associations of the household environment and in-bed behaviors with sleep duration, efficiency, and wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO).

TL;DR: The soundscapes of four bays along the Kona Coast of Hawaii Island were monitored between January 2011 and March 2013 to illustrate the importance of understanding soundscape to effectively manage noise pollution in marine ecosystems.

Short-Term Annoyance Due to Night-Time Road, Railway, and Air Traffic Noise: Role of the Noise Source, the Acoustical Metric, and Non-Acoustical Factors.

TL;DR: In this article, exposure-response functions for the probability to be "annoyed at least a little" (%LA) were derived from acoustic recordings inside the bedrooms of nightly road traffic and annoyance ratings in the following morning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of the noise annoyance equivalents model for aircraft, rail and road traffic noise to self-reported sleep disturbance
TL;DR: An overall model for evaluating sleep disorders was developed based on the “annoyance equivalents model”, which shows an accumulative outcome for each source measured and has a Spearman-Rho of 0.3 and is suitable for use in noise assessment.

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.
