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:

Burden of Disease from Environmental Noise: Quantification of Healthy Life Years Lost in Europe
TL;DR: Policy-makers and their advisers are provided with technical support in their quantitative risk assessment of environmental noise and can use the procedure for estimating burdens presented here to prioritize and plan environmental and public health policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular effects of environmental noise exposure
TL;DR: Evidence from epidemiologic studies demonstrates that environmental noise is associated with an increased incidence of arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke, and the importance of noise mitigation strategies for public health is stressed.

Environmental stressors and cardio-metabolic disease: part II-mechanistic insights.
Thomas Münzel,Mette Sørensen,Tommaso Gori,Frank P. Schmidt,Xiaoquan Rao,Frank R. Brook,Lung Chi Chen,Robert D. Brook,Sanjay Rajagopalan +8 more
TL;DR: A considerable body of evidence suggests that these environmental agents induce low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular dysfunction, and autonomic nervous system imbalance, thereby facilitating the development of diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single and combined effects of air, road, and rail traffic noise on sleep and recuperation.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of air, road and rail traffic noise on sleep and recuperation were investigated for 11 consecutive nights, which included eight noise exposure nights and one noise-free control night.

Noise, sleep and poor health: Modeling the relationship between road traffic noise and cardiovascular problems.
Aslak Fyhri,Gunn Marit Aasvang +1 more
TL;DR: The analysis showed no relationship between neither noise exposure nor response to noise and cardiovascular problems, and showed strong links among pseudoneurological complaints, annoyance and sleeping problems, thus pointing to the importance of including information on psychosomatic disorders and mild psychological problems in future studies looking at potential health effects of noise.

Sleep disturbances from road traffic and ventilation noise—laboratory and field experiments
Evy Öhrström,Annbritt Skånberg +1 more
TL;DR: Novel effects on sleep of different types of noise exposures (road traffic, ventilation and combination of noise from road traffic and ventilation) and compare effects both in laboratory and in field settings are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long term sleep disturbance due to traffic noise
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of traffic noise on sleep disturbance were evaluated in the home of people living near a main road and the results highlight that both long term average and peak levels are important in assessing sleep disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of low levels of road traffic noise during the night: a laboratory study on number of events, maximum noise levels and noise sensitivity
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of the number of noise events of a relatively low maximum noise level for sleep disturbance effects (body movements, subjective sleep quality, mood and performance) was elucidated.
Journal Article
Physiological, subjective, and behavioural responses during sleep to noise from rail and road traffic.
TL;DR: Only the behaviour to sleep with open or closed windows was significantly associated with the rating level and the windows were significantly more often closed by the residents primarily exposed to road noise, suggesting a reaction to noise or to concomitant pollutants such as odour.
Journal ArticleDOI
A critical load for nocturnal high‐density road traffic noise
TL;DR: The equivalent sound pressure level measured for high-density road traffic seems to be a valuable predictor for subjective sleep disturbances as long as the maximum levels do not exceed it by more than 8-10 dBA.
