Abstract
Probabilities of awakening associated with increasing levels of in-home exposure to four different sounds were estimated. Fourteen people exposed throughout the night for periods of several weeks to a computer-controlled series of noises pushed buttons under their pillows to register awakenings. To a first approximation, sounds of equivalent time-integrated detectability appeared to have equal probabilities of awakening people.

An overview of the effects of noise on people as can be determined from the scientific literature is presented and emphasis is placed on describing and classifying the adverse effects and relating them in a general way to the intensive and temporal properties of audible noise.

Results from several studies are combined to show that when EPNdB units are used as the measure of noise intensity, the correlation coefficient between intensity and the probability of no disturbance of sleep is −0.86.

Simultaneous measurements of noise exposure and sleep electrophysiology were made in homes before and after cessation of nighttime aircraft landing noise, indicating a large reduction in the hourly noise level during nighttime hours, but no charge during the daytime hours.

Predictions of the effects of noise on sleep appear, tentatively, to attain the highest accuracy when the physical descriptor of noise intensity includes information about the impulsive characteristics of that noise as well as its long-term spectral content.
