The effect of road traffic noise from heavy vehicles during the night
was investigated in a two week laboratory experiment. Body movements,
heart rate, subjective sleep quality, mood and performance was evaluated
among two different groups of subjects, non-sensitive and sensitive
to noise. Acute physiological effects, increased heart rate and an
increased number of body movements, in connection with noise events
were found and neither of these reactions decreased towards the end
of the noise period. A significant effect on subjective sleep quality
was found only among the sensitive subjects. No habititation was
seen for the negative influence of noise on sleep quality, mood and
performance.
