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:

The impact of railway vibration and noise on sleep
TL;DR: Vibration and noise were additive regarding their effect on cortical arousal and sleep stage change, demonstrating that both exposures differentially contribute to sleep fragmentation.

Comparison between Indoor Noise Level and Subjective Response for Transportation Noise - Focusing on the Aircraft, Road traffic and Railway Noise
Hyeon-Ku Park,Sun-Woo Kim +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of research to seek for the relationship between subjective responses and noise level for transportation noise have been proceeded, and their results showed similar for some cases and different for some other cases as well, which is considered due to the various conditions such as the way of survey, different scale applied, and country etc.

Noise indicator evaluation of road and rail traffic noise for indoor- outdoor differences in acoustic parameters
Abstract: The two main objectives of the extensive project ”INTRANOISE” were to study the effect of road and rail traffic sound on human sleep patterns and explore the relationship between the subjective perception of 100 test persons and objectively measured acoustic and physiological parameters. The free field measurement arrangement includes binaural dummy head measurements at the façade of the test subjects’ home and within the bedroom, thus providing a solid basis for evaluation. Indoor-outdoor differences were assessed for various sound indicators and their relation with people’s subjective and objective responses. People are able to distinguish between the investigated noise sources. This ability contributes to their subjective traffic noise annoyance and can be linked to acoustic parameters. Indoor noise is the dominant factor for physiological reactions during sleep, leading to observable cardiovascular reactions. The link between reactions and acoustic measurements varies depending on the health indicator. Further studies are needed to determine, which noise indicator is more appropriate. This paper aims to describe people’s subjective and objective response to road and rail traffic noise using the difference of indoor-outdoor sound pressure levels.

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.
