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:

Model of Noise Propagation in Urban Area: A Case Study in Jakarta
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an analytical approach that space needs to be supported by the method of the Geographic Information System, which is a method to demonstrate the ability of spatial information, and can display visually.

Measurement and Monetary Valuation of Traffic Noise Pollution by the Top-Down Method in Tabriz City
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to measure traffic noise pollution in Tabriz city and to evaluate its associated costs by applying the top-down method, and the results indicated that 60% of the residents declared medium and high level of annoyance, due to traffic noise.

The effect of inclined soil layers on surface vibration from underground railways using a semi-analytical approach
Simon Jones,Hugh Hunt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-analytical approach is developed to investigate the effect of soil layering on the surface vibration of a halfspace where both soil properties and layer inclination angles are varied.

Sample size estimation for field studies on the effects of aircraft noise on sleep
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed Monte Carlo simulations for the power of the study to find a significant effect of maximum sound pressure level and the precision of a 95% confidence interval surrounding exposure-response relationships depending on the number of investigated subjects and the noise events each subject will be exposed to.

Pre-Sleep Cognitive Arousal Is Negatively Associated with Sleep Misperception in Healthy Sleepers during Habitual Environmental Noise Exposure: An Actigraphy Study
TL;DR: The results indicate that higher levels of habitual pre-sleep arousal are associated with a greater degree of sleep misperception, and even in healthy sleepers, objective sleep is vulnerable to habitual bedside noise.

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.
