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.

Living alongside railway tracks: Long-term effects of nocturnal noise on sleep and cardiovascular reactivity as a function of age

TL;DR: It is suggested that during the initial period experienced by residents living near railway tracks, nocturnal railway noise could induce a sensitization process on the autonomic response to noise reflecting a startle/defense reflex due to its functional significance, which progressively turns to habituation in the long-term if no adverse effect is experienced.

Objective and subjective socioeconomic gradients exist for sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, weekend oversleep, and daytime sleepiness in adults.

TL;DR: Subjective SEP trumped objective SEP as a better predictor of sleep duration, daytime sleepiness, and weekend oversleep, and the need to expand the framework to better understand the mechanisms underlying socioeconomic gradients and sleep is highlighted.

Single and combined effects of air, road and rail traffic noise on sleep

TL;DR: Annoyance due to aircraft noise was stronger compared to both rail and road traffic noise, however, according to multvariable random subject effect logistic regression models, awakening probability increased in the order AI, RO, RA (AI
Journal ArticleDOI

Annoyance and self-reported sleep disturbance due to night-time railway noise examined in the field

TL;DR: Annoyance ratings increased significantly with the total number of trains and freight trains per night, and non-significantly with rising number of passenger trains and energy equivalent sound pressure level, but no other aspects of subjective sleep disturbances were examined.

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

J.E.J. Prins
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.
