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:

Journal ArticleDOI
A field study of effects of road traffic and railway noise on polysomnographic sleep parameters.
TL;DR: Findings that railway noise has a stronger impact than road traffic noise on physiological parameters during sleep, and that the maximum noise level is an important predictor of noise effects on sleep assessed by PSG are supported, at least for railway noise.

Self-reported sleep disturbances due to railway noise : Exposure-response relationships for nighttime equivalent and maximum noise levels
TL;DR: Noise sensitivity, type of bedroom window, and pass-by frequency were significant factors affecting noise-induced sleep disturbances, in addition to the noise exposure level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of nocturnal railway noise on sleep fragmentation in young and middle-aged subjects as a function of type of train and sound level.
TL;DR: Comparisons of the effects of different types of train on arousal from sleep and any differential impact as a function of sound level and age concluded that microscopic detection of sleep fragmentation may provide advantageous information on sleep disturbances caused by environmental noises.
Journal ArticleDOI
Practical guidance for risk assessment of traffic noise effects on sleep
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guidance on hazard identification, exposure assessment, exposure response relationships and risk estimation for assessing the effects of traffic noise on sleep, based on the current literature.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
