Study on the Use of Broadband Sound to Mitigate Sleep Disruption Due to Aircraft Noise

University of Pennsylvania·interventional·Posted Mar 20, 2023·Updated Nov 18, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Aviation Noise Only (AN), Pink noise only, 50 dBA (BN50), and 3 other interventions for Noise Exposure. Completed, enrolled 27 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Sound insulation of bedrooms is expensive and typically only granted to residents living close to the airport. We plan to investigate the effects of various aviation noises on sleep under controlled laboratory conditions and to investigate whether some of the sleep disturbing effects can be mitigated by introducing broadband noise into the bedroom or by wearing earplugs.

Interventions

Aviation Noise Only (AN)other

The aviation noise (AN) night will expose subjects to a pre-programmed recording of aviation noise and alerts during sleep from 2300-0700.

Pink noise only, 50 dBA (BN50)other

The BN50 night will consist of exposure to continuous pink noise throughout the sleep period at a level of 50 A-weighted decibels (dBA).

Aviation Noise With Earplugs (AN+EP)other

The AN + EP night will consist of the aviation noise (AN) exposure with the addition of wearing earplugs overnight.

Aviation Noise With Pink Noise, 40 dBA (AN+BN40)other

The AN + BN40 night will consist of the aviation noise (AN) exposure with the addition of continuous pink noise throughout the sleep period at a level of 40 dBA.

Aviation Noise With Pink Noise, 50 dBA (AN+BN50)other

The AN + BN50 night will consist of the aviation noise (AN) exposure with the addition of continuous pink noise throughout the sleep period at a level of 50 dBA.
