本标准提供了一种预测睡眠障碍的方法，该方法根据与事件噪声水平（根据声音暴露水平（SEL））相关的觉醒百分比进行预测。本标准是通过对行为觉醒的实地研究制定的，主要是在常规飞机起飞和着陆作业区域附近的家庭中。用于推导剂量-反应关系的数据库包括在美国各种社区进行的5000多个受试者夜间观察。

This standard provides a method to predict sleep disturbance in terms of percent awakenings associated with the noise level of events in terms of sound exposure level (SEL). This standard was developed using field studies of behavioral awakening primarily in homes near areas of routine aircraft takeoff and landing operations. The database used in derivation of the dose-response relationship consists of more than 5,000 subject-nights of observations in a variety of communities in the United States.
