Saw a lot of signs against wind power in people's yards. We were able to go stand right under one of these turbines and heard no noise at all. Maybe we just need to get rid of cities, trains and cars, and birds to make all things equal.

Measuring the noise from small wind turbines is every bit as complicated as measuring power curves--and more costly. The measurements require sophisticated acoustical instruments and careful analysis. (For a similar series of tests on small turbine performance, see WindStats Summer 2000, Vol.

The noise a wind turbine creates is normally expressed in terms of its sound power level. Although this is measured in dB(A), it is not a measurement of the noise level which we hear but of the noise power emitted by the machine.

Wind Turbine Noise; Wind turbines generate two types of noise: aerodynamic and mechanical. A turbine’s sound power is the combined power of both. Aerodynamic noise is generated by the blades passing through the air.

Hayes McKenzie reported to the then DTI in May 2006 that there was no evidence of health effects arising from infrasound or low frequency noise generated by wind farms. The report recommended further work on the specific issue of Aerodynamic Modulation (AM).
