    • Abstract:
      The effect of aviation noise on sleep is a long-recognized concern of those interested in addressing the impacts of noise on people. In 1992, the Federal Interagency Committee on Noise (FICON) recommended an interim dose-response curve to predict the percent of the exposed population expected to be awakened as a function of the exposure to single event noise levels expressed in terms of SEL. FICON also identified a need for further research into the effects of aviation noise; in 1993 the Federal Interagency Committee on Aviation Noise (FICAN) was formed. Since the adoption of FICON's interim curve in 1992, substantial field research in the area of sleep disturbance has been completed. The data from these studies show a consistent pattern, with considerably less percent of the exposed population expected to be behaviorally awakened than had been shown with laboratory studies. FICAN recommends the adoption of a new dose-response curve for predicting awakening, based on the field data described in this paper and supporting references. The Committee takes the conservative

      position that, because the adopted curve represents the upper limit of the data presented, it should be interpreted as predicting the "maximum percent of the exposed population expected to be behaviorally awakened", or the "maximum % awakened".
