Low frequency noise (20-200 Hz) is emitted by numerous sources in
the society. As low frequencies propagate with little attenuation
through walls and windows, many people may be exposed to low frequency
noise in their dwellings. Sleep disturbance, especially with regard
to time to fall asleep and tiredness in the morning, are commonly
reported in case studies on low frequency noise. However, the number
of studies where sleep disturbance is investigated in relation to
the low frequencies in the noise is limited. Based on findings from
available epidemiological and experimental studies, the review gives
indications that sleep disturbance due to low frequency noise warrants
further concern.
