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:

Cardiovascular responses to railway noise during sleep in young and middle-aged adults.
Patricia Tassi,Mahnaz Saremi,Sarah Schimchowitsch,Arnaud Eschenlauer,Odile Rohmer,Alain Muzet +5 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of nocturnal railway noise on cardiovascular reactivity in young and middle-aged adults during sleep shows that Freight trains produced the highest cardiac response (increased HRR, HRA and HRL) compared to Passenger and Automotive, but the vascular response was similar whatever the type of train.

Bowker's test for symmetry and modifications within the algebraic framework
Anne Krampe,Sonja Kuhnt +1 more
TL;DR: A test of symmetry based on Bowker's test and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods following the algorithm of Diaconis and Sturmfels (1998) is suggested.

Comparing the Effects of Road, Railway, and Aircraft Noise on Sleep: Exposure–Response Relationships from Pooled Data of Three Laboratory Studies
Eva-Maria Elmenhorst,Eva-Maria Elmenhorst,Barbara Griefahn,Vinzent Rolny,Mathias Basner,Mathias Basner +5 more
TL;DR: The three major traffic noise sources differ in their impact on sleep, and it is thus important to choose the correct concept for noise legislation, i.e., physiological sleep metrics in addition to noise annoyance for nighttime noise protection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction uncertainties and inaccuracies resulting from common assumptions in modelling vibration from underground railways
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed six commonly disregarded aspects of the underground railway environment and their respective effects on vibration prediction values: a second (twin) tunnel, piled foundations, track with discontinuous slabs, soil inhomogeneity, inclined soil layers, and irregular contact at the tunnel-soil interface.

The impact of aircraft noise exposure on objective parameters of sleep quality: results of the DEBATS study in France.
Ali Mohamed Nassur,Damien Leger,Marie Lefevre,Maxime Elbaz,Fanny Mietlicki,Philippe Nguyen,Carlos Ribeiro,Matthieu Sineau,Bernard Laumon,Anne-Sophie Evrard +9 more
TL;DR: The findings of the present study contribute to the overall evidence suggesting that nocturnal aircraft noise exposure may decrease the objective quality of sleep.

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.
