交通噪声对睡眠的干扰是噪声污染中的一个主要问题。许多工作人员已经使用多通道脑电图(EEG)进行了广泛的实验室测试,以确定人们在睡眠期间暴露于噪声时的一般反应。使用简化的单通道EEG开发了一种在人们家中获得结果的实验技术。测量了19-24岁的6个人的反应。当噪声以EPNdB表示时,发现睡眠障碍与交通噪声之间存在显著相关性。在家庭实验中,受试者对噪音的敏感度似乎比实验室受试者对类似噪音的敏感度低约10 dB。对噪声暴露似乎也有一些适应;然而,只有一名受试者接受了为期20天的测试,不足以给出关于适应的明确结果。
The disturbance of sleep by traffic noise is a major problem area in noise pollution. Extensive laboratory tests using multichannel electroencephalograms (EEG) have been carried out by many workers to determine the general response of people when exposed to noise during sleep. An experimental technique for obtaining results in people's homes has been developed using a simplified one-channel EEG. The responses of six people in the age range 19-24 were measured. A significant correlation was found between sleep disturbance and traffic noise when the noise is expressed in EPNdB. In the home experiments the subjects appeared to be approximately 10 dB less sensitive to noises than laboratory subjects for similar noise exposure. There also appeared to be some adaptation to the noise exposure; however, only one subject was tested for a period of 20 days and was insufficient to give definite results on adaptation.
