What is the article about? Summarize the article in one to two paragraphs.
The paper is a study that aimed to estimate the number of awakenings additional to spontaneous awakenings, induced by the nighttime aircraft movements at an international airport
in Montreal, in the population residing near the airport in 2009. The probabilities of additional awakening were linked to estimated numbers of exposed residents for each grid location to assess the number of aircraft-noise-induced awakenings in Montreal. Using two different levels of noise attenuation 590 persons would, on average, have one or more additional awakenings per
night for the year 2009, or with a higher level of noise attenuation, on average, no one would be subjected to additional awakenings per night due to aircraft noise (Tétreault et al., 2012).
