5、can National Standards Institute, Inc. Abstract This Standard provides a method to predict sleep disturbance in terms of percent awakenings or numbers of people awakened associated with noise levels in terms of indoor A-weighted sound exposure level (ASEL). The Standard was developed from field stud
6、ies of behavioral awakening primarily in homes near areas of routine jet aircraft takeoff and landing operations, railroads, roads, and highways. The database used in derivation of the method consists of about 10,000 subject-nights of observations in a variety of communities in the United States and
7、 The Netherlands. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS ON ACOUSTICS The Acoustical Society of America (ASA) provides the Secretariat for Accredited Standards Committees S1 on Acoustics, S2 on Mechanical Vibration and Shock, S3 on Bioacoustics, S3/SC 1 on Animal Bioacoustics, and S12 on Noise. These committee
8、s have wide representation from the technical community (manufacturers, consumers, trade associations, organizations with a general interest, and government representatives). The standards are published by the Acoustical Society of America as American National Standards after approval by their respe
9、ctive Standards Committees and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These standards are developed and published as a public service to provide standards useful to the public, industry, and consumers, and to Federal, State, and local governments. Each of the Accredited Standards Committe
10、es (operating in accordance with procedures approved by ANSI) is responsible for developing, voting upon, and maintaining or revising its own Standards. The ASA Standards Secretariat administers Committee organization and activity and provides liaison between the Accredited Standards Committees and
11、ANSI. After the Standards have been produced and adopted by the Accredited Standards Committees, and approved as American National Standards by ANSI, the ASA Standards Secretariat arranges for their publication and distribution. An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantiall
12、y concerned with its scope and provisions. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily una
13、nimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of an American National Standard is completely voluntary. Their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he or she has approved the Standards
14、 or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the Standards. NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken p
15、eriodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this Standard.

21、res for Description and Measurement of Environmental Sound Part 6: Methods for Estimation of Awakenings Associated with Outdoor Noise Events Heard in Homes. This Standard comprises a part of a group of definitions, standards, and specifications for use in noise. It was developed and approved by Accr
22、edited Standards Committee S12, Noise under its approved operating procedures. Those procedures have been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The Scope of Accredited Standards Committee S12 is as follows: Standards, specifications, and terminology in the field of acoustic
23、al noise pertaining to methods of measurement, evaluation, and control, including biological safety, tolerance and comfort, and physical acoustics as related to environmental and occupational noise. This Standard is a revision of ANSI S12.9-2000/Part 6, which has been technically revised with additi
24、onal data that have become available since 2000, with a curvilinear fit replacing the straight line fit to the data, and with a procedure to calculate the probability of being awakened at least once by a set of events that occurs throughout an entire night. This edition cancels and replaces ANSI S12
25、.9-2000 (R 2005). This Standard is not comparable to any existing ISO Standard.

29、vents Heard in Homes 1 Scope This Standard provides a method to predict sleep disturbance in home settings where people are familiar with the neighborhood noise environment. Sleep “disturbance” is restricted to behaviorally confirmed awakening as demonstrated, for example, by pressing a button upon
30、awakening. Noise levels are quantified as indoor A-weighted sound exposure levels of outdoor events occurring less than five minutes prior to the awakening. The Standard further assumes that the sleepers have normal hearing with no sleep disorders. Although this Standard is primarily based on sleep
31、disturbances caused by aircraft noise, the limited data that were available indicated that the prediction method is equally applicable to other discrete single events such as the sound of a train passby, a single small-arms gunshot, or the sound of a coupler bang in a train marshalling yard. The Sta
32、ndard is not applicable to predictions of sleep disturbances caused by multiple noise events that occur in a very short time (e.g., 10 gunshots in 10 s), or to large-weapon noise (e.g., artillery), explosive demolition, etc. The Standard does not address other aspects of sleep disturbance such as gr
33、oss body movements, sleep stage changes, sleep latency, or self reports of sleep quality. The Standard does not apply to persons under 18 years of age, individuals with sleep disorders, or individuals in poor health. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the

37、nings one hundred times the number of individuals awakened at least once during the night by noise events divided by the total number of individuals exposed to the sound of those noise events 4 Relation of sleep disturbance (awakening) to the sound of single events 4.1 Probability of awakening as a
38、function of the single-event indoor ASEL Equation (1) quantifies the night-long probability of awakening for a population of sleepers who are exposed to an outdoor noise event as a function of the indoor ASEL associated with the noise event in the sleepers quarters. This equation was derived from be
39、havioral awakenings associated with noise events in “steady state” situations where the noise has been present in both level and in frequency of occurrence for a long time (on the order of a year). The probability that a person of average sensitivity to awakening will be awakened by a single noise e
40、vent is given by the following formula. Probability of awakening: A,single-Z1P=1+e(1) where A6 8884 0 04444EZ. . L= + , and LAErepresents the indoor A-weighted sound exposure level (ASEL) of an outdoor single noise event. NOTE The indoor single-event ASEL may be determined from estimates of the sing
41、le event or from measurements of ASEL caused by representative single events over a minimum of nine hours encompassing the period from 2200 h to 0700 h. Any ASELs that are less than 50 dB shall be ignored. That is, the probability of awakening shall be set to zero for any ASEL that is less than 50 d
42、B. NOTE This Standard should be used with caution for indoor ASELs in excess of 100 dB, which is the practical extent of the underlying data. The Standard increasingly under-predicts awakenings for ASELs in excess of 100 dB. For example, at an ASEL of 150 dB, the Standard predicts less than 50% of t
43、he population will be awakened. Common experience suggests that the percent awakened will be closer to 100% if the indoor ASEL were 150 dB. This extension to the curve above 100 dB was made because it was decided that providing data that were too low was preferable to not providing any data at all.
44、ASEL, if measured, shall be determined with a single microphone located 1.0 m to 1.5 m above the floor and no closer than 1.0 m from any wall within the sleeping quarters. Annex A contains all of the data from behavioral awakening studies. These data and the predictions from Equation (1) are plotted

46、o Equation (1). 4.2 Probability of awakening as a function of both the single-event indoor ASEL and the time since retiring One of the more consistent findings in the sleep literature is that the probability of an awakening due to a noise event increases as time in bed increases. Equation (2) quanti
47、fies the probability of awakening as a function of both the time since retiring (in minutes) and the indoor A-weighted sound exposure level in a sleepers quarters (in decibels).
