TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of human sleep disturbance in three age groups by subsonic jet aircraft noise and simulated sonic booms was made. And the results showed that sleep disturbance was associated with three different age groups.

TL;DR: Cognitive learning was changed structurally in the aircraft noise group and was accompanied by higher sympathetic activity and difficulties in changing cognitive strategies during noise are discussed as underlying mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on aircraft sound perception and extracted four perceptual factors which explain the distance between aircrafts sounds, which correspond to individual multidimensional SCALing (INDSCAL) analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, flight measurements of aerodynamic noise were made on an AeroCommander airplane and a JetStar airplane with engines at both idle power and completely shut off, and the overall sound level for these airplanes in the landing configuration varied as the sixth power of the aircraft velocity.
Abstract: Flight measurements of aerodynamic noise were made on an AeroCommander airplane with engines off and a JetStar airplane with engines at both idle power and completely shut off. The overall sound level for these airplanes in the landing configuration varied as the sixth power of the aircraft velocity. For the JetStar airplane, the overall sound level decreased as the inverse square of the distance in the lateral direction. The aerodynamic noise was approximately 11 decibels below the FAR Part 36 noise level for the JetStar airplane. The landing gear were a significant contributor to aerodynamic noise for both aircraft.

TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale field study of noise-induced sleep disturbance was conducted in the vicinities of Stapleton International Airport (DEN) and DIA in anticipation of the closure of the former and opening of the latter.
Abstract: A large-scale field study of noise-induced sleep disturbance was conducted in the vicinities of Stapleton International Airport (DEN) and Denver International Airport (DIA) in anticipation of the closure of the former and opening of the latter. Both indoor and outdoor measurements of aircraft and other nighttime noises were made during four time periods. Measurements were made in 57 homes located as close as feasible to the runway ends of the two airports. Sleep disturbance was measured by several indices of behaviorally confirmed awakening (button pushes upon awakening) and body movement (as measured with wrist-worn actimeters). A total of 2717 subject-nights of observations were made over the course of the study. Although average noise event levels measured outdoors decreased markedly at DEN after closure of the airport and increased slightly at DIA after its opening, indoor noise event levels varied much less in homes near both airports. No large differences were observed in noise-induced sleep disturbance at either airport. Indoor sound exposure levels of noise events were, however, closely related to and good predictors of actimetrically defined motility and arousal.
