Sleep disturbance due to aircraft noise exposure

Aircraft Noise and Sleep Disturbance: A Review

Perceptions of Aircraft Noise Exposure, Noise Sensitivity? Sleep Disturbance and Health: Results from the Bristol Noise, Sleep and Health Study

The aim of the present research was to examine associations between perceptions of noise exposure, noise sensitivity, sleep disturbance and health in an area where aircraft noise is not particularly prevalent (Bristol, UK). A questionnaire was mailed to a random community sample and 543 responses were received. This sample was found to be a representative sample of the general population. Preli...

Hearing impairment due to cigarette smoking and simultaneous exposure to occupational noise

  Abstract   Background : Noise is the most common hazard in the workplace and noise induced   hearing loss considered to be the most common occupational disease as well.   Cigarette smoking, in some studies, has been known to induce hearing loss. The purpose   of this study was to evaluate the effect of contemporary exposure to occupational   noise and cigarette smoking on hearing.   Methods :...

Effects on sleep disturbance of changes in aircraft noise near three airports.

Field measurements were conducted of potential sleep disturbance associated with changes in nighttime aircraft noise exposure near three airports. One study was conducted near Stapleton International Airport (DEN) and Denver International Airport (DIA) in anticipation of the closure of the former and opening of the latter. Sleep behavior was monitored in 57 homes located near runway ends at the...

The effects of long-term exposure to railway and road traffic noise on subjective sleep disturbance.

The exposure-response relationships between subjective annoyance with sleep disturbance from railway trains and road traffic noise were established from an extensive social survey by CENVR (Center for Environmental Noise and Vibration Research) in Korea. The objectives of this research are to determine the long-term effects of noise on sleep and to compare the exposure-response relationships fr...
