TL;DR: In the course of several studies, 22 male and female subjects, ranging in age from 5-75 years, have been stimulated while asleep by simulated sonic booms and indoor recordings of subsonic jet flyover noise.

TL;DR: A field study has been carried out in urban Nigeria as mentioned in this paper, which showed that most urban dwellers consider noise an environmental nuisance, with 65% of all respondents in eight cities feeling highly or moderately disturbed by it.

23 May 2001TL;DR: In this article, a controller that processes the mass spectrum of a sample provided by a detector of a mass spectrometer, for example, by a field portable Mass Spectrometer system, provides a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processing of the mass spectral data received.
Abstract: A controller that processes the mass spectrum of a sample provided by a detector of a mass spectrometer, for example, by a field portable mass spectrometer system. The controller provides a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processing of the mass spectral data received. The CFAR processes the mass spectral data to determine noise included in the mass spectral data and outputs spectral peaks when the mass spectral data exceeds a threshold that reflects the noise included in the spectral data. The output peaks are compared with spectral peaks for known threats stored in a database and a notification that a known threat is present in the sample is provided if there is a correspondence between one or more output spectral peaks and one or more spectral peaks of a known threat as stored in the database.

TL;DR: It is suggested that white noise has the capacity to enhance lexical acquisition in healthy young adults and was mediated by executive attention skills.
Abstract: Research suggests that listening to white noise may improve some aspects of cognitive performance in individuals with lower attention. This study investigated the impact of white noise on new word learning in healthy young adults, and whether this effect was mediated by executive attention skills. Eighty participants completed a single training session to learn the names of twenty novel objects. The session comprised 5 learning phases, each followed by a recall test. A final recognition test was also administered. Half the participants listened to white noise during the learning phases, and half completed the learning in silence. The noise group demonstrated superior recall accuracy over time, which was not impacted by participant attentional capacity. Recognition accuracy was near ceiling for both groups. These findings suggest that white noise has the capacity to enhance lexical acquisition.
