TLDR
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.About:

Environmental noise, sleep and health.
TL;DR: Over the past 30 years, research into environmental noise and sleep has focused on different situations and environments, and therefore the findings are variable, but it still seems necessary for some fundamental questions to be answered on whether environmental noise has long-term detrimental effects on health and quality of life and, if so, what these effects are for night-time, noise-exposed populations.

Noise Pollution: A Modern Plague
Lisa Goines,Louis Hagler +1 more
TL;DR: Noise is defined as unwanted sound which produces direct and cumulative adverse effects that impair health and that degrade residential, social, working, and learning environments with corresponding real (economic) and intangible (well-being) losses.

Annoyance from road traffic noise: a review
TL;DR: It is found from the present review that the continuous exposure of people to road traffic noise leads to suffering from various kinds of discomfort, thus reducing appreciably the number of their well-being elements.
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.

TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of short-term changes of transportation or indoor noise levels on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) during night-time sleep in 140 subjects living near four major European airports found effects of noise exposure on elevated subsequent BP measurements were clearly shown.

Human Growth Hormone Release: Relation to Slow-Wave Sleep and Sleep-Waking Cycles
TL;DR: Release of human growth hormone during sleep is significantly related to slow, synchronized stages of sleep and therefore would seem to be controlled by related neural mechanisms, but when sleep-waking cycles are reversed by 12 hours, the release of growth hormone with sleep is reversed.

Community response to noise: A review of factors influencing the relationship between noise exposure and reaction
TL;DR: A review of the relationship between noise exposure and the subjective reactions to it was conducted by as mentioned in this paper, which indicated that remarkably similar results have been obtained across different nationalities with different measurement techniques.
