Excess risks of hypertension related to long-term noise exposure are indicated, primarily for night-time aircraft noise and daily average road traffic noise.

The equivalent noise level seems to be a suitable predictor for subjectively evaluated sleep quality but not for physiological sleep disturbances, where physiological sleep parameters were most severely affected by rail noise.
SLEEPAutonomic Arousals Related to Traffic Noise during Sleep
137 Citations2008Barbara Griefahn, Peter Bröde +2 more
Cardiac responses did not habituate to traffic noise within the night and may therefore play a key role in promoting traffic noise induced cardiovascular disease, more likely for responses accompanied by awakenings than for situations without awakenings.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of AmericaRelationship between exposure to multiple noise sources and noise annoyance
120 Citations2004Henk Miedema
The annoyance equivalents model concerning noise annoyance from combined sources and the underlying assumptions are presented and it appears that independence will be violated substantially only due to the effect of the presence or absence of a quiet side of building which is not incorporated in the model.

SLEEPThe Influence of Hearing Impairment on Sleep Quality Among Workers Exposed to Harmful Noise
48 Citations2011Tsafnat Test, A. Canfi +3 more
Although tinnitus was the main sleep disrupting factor, hearing impairment among workers occupationally exposed to harmful noise, independently contributed to sleep impairment, especially to insomnia, regardless of age and years of exposure.
Physiological MeasurementAircraft noise effects on sleep: a systematic comparison of EEG awakenings and automatically detected cardiac activations
22 Citations2008Mathias Basner, Uwe Müller +3 more
An algorithm for the automatic identification of cardiac activations associated with cortical arousals, which uses heart rate information derived from a single electrocardiogram (ECG) channel, may be used as estimates for EEG awakenings.
Noise and HealthSleep quality in noise exposed Brazilian workers
14 Citations2005GeruzaAlves da Silva, AnaLucia Rios
The results show that active men working 40-hour-a-week in the presence of excessive noise without adequate protection for more than eight years presented with noise-induced hearing loss but their quality or quantity of night sleep was unaffected, suggesting Sensori-neural deafness may represent an element of adaptation against noise during sleep.
Noise and HealthThe state of the art of predicting noise-induced sleep disturbance in field settings
12 Citations2010Sanford Fidell, Barbara G. Tabachnick +1 more
Although expedient relationships may be the best available, their predictions are of only limited utility for policy analysis and regulatory purposes, because they account for very little variance in the association between environmental noise and sleep disturbance.
