TLDR
It might be concluded that the WHO recommendation of L eq = 35 dB(A) is adequate, but should be supplemented with a maximum noise level, as expressed for example in L pmax or L I , that should not be exceeded.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Sources and effects of low-frequency noise.
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that a number of adverse effects of noise in general arise from exposure to low-frequency noise: Loudness judgments and annoyance reactions are sometimes reported to be greater for low- frequency noise than other noises for equal sound-pressure level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nocturnal road traffic noise: A review on its assessment and consequences on sleep and health.
TL;DR: In assessing sleep disturbances, the domain might benefit from additional longitudinal studies on deleterious effects of noise on mental health and general well-being, as well as methodological aspects in the study of noise and sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of subjective reactions to noise on health effects of the noise
TL;DR: A model of potential psychological factors and their possible causal roles in the production of noise related health effects is outlined, suggesting that negative subjective reactions to noise predict health outcomes over and above the prediction available from noise exposure itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of nighttime low frequency noise on the cortisol response to awakening and subjective sleep quality
TL;DR: It is shown that night time exposure to LFN may affect the cortisol response upon wake up and that lower cortisol levels after awakening were associated with subjective reports of lower sleep quality and mood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transportation noise, sleep, and possible after-effects
TL;DR: Laboratory and field research indicate that intermittent noise is more disturbing to sleep than continuous noise, and that habituation of arousal responses to noise events may occur without reducing the effects on task performance the next day.

Cyclic variations in EEG during sleep and their relation to eye movements, body motility, and dreaming.
TL;DR: Records from a large number of nights in single individuals indicated that some could maintain a very striking regularity in their sleep pattern from night to night, and that body movement, after rising to a peak, dropped sharply at the onset of rapid eye movements and rebounded abruptly as the eye movements ceased.
