Results on sleep disturbance and cardiovascular risk to different tyre noise psychoacoustic parameters

This deliverable will describe findings from laboratory studies into the effects of the impact of nocturnal tyre noise on a number of critical outcomes of relevance for public health and the genesis of cardiovascular disease. These critical outcomes are blood metabolic biomarkers; physiologic sleep depth and sleep structure; noise-induced awakenings and cortical and cardiac arousals; heart rate variability; blood pressure changes and other indices of autonomic and cardiovascular function; self-reported sleep.
