Why Wind Turbine Noise is Just So Incredibly Annoying to Wind Farm Victims
'Annoyance' is a term much used, and frequently abused, in relation to the acoustic torture caused by incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound.

Wind Turbine Noise Terrorising Whales
Once upon a time, 'Save the Whales' was a mantra swiped onto T-Shirts and bumper stickers by environmentalists to exhibit their moral righteousness.
