Wind Farm Victim’s Smoking Gun: German Research Reveals Infrasound Exposure Causes Stress, Sleep Disruption & More

There are certain common themes that run the world over: neighbours forced to live with incessant wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound suffer; and the wind industry denies all responsibility, for anything, whether caused in this world or the next. However, plausible denial on the part of the wind industry is about to become … Continue reading Wind Farm Victim’s Smoking Gun: German Research Reveals Infrasound Exposure Causes Stress, Sleep Disruption & More

Getting Away with Murder: How the Wind Industry Rigged Noise Rules Around the World

In our timeline post – Three Decades of Wind Industry Deception: A Chronology of a Global Conspiracy of Silence and Subterfuge – we covered the fact that – from 1995 – the wind industry drew together a hand-picked team with a mission to write noise rules with absolutely no relevance to wind turbine noise; and, … Continue reading Getting Away with Murder: How the Wind Industry Rigged Noise Rules Around the World

Malicious Torture: Macarthur Wind Farm Neigbours Continue to Suffer, as AGL Dodges Damning Acoustic Evidence

The incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound from AGL's Macarthur wind farm in western Victoria has been driving neighbours nuts or out of their homes since December 2012. Having been lied to and bullied for just as long, one of AGL's victims (and an STT Champion) Annie Gardner let rip with this stinging rebuke, … Continue reading Malicious Torture: Macarthur Wind Farm Neigbours Continue to Suffer, as AGL Dodges Damning Acoustic Evidence

Needless Human Suffering the Price of Wind Industry Corruption

*** For far too many acoustic engineers ethics runs a poor second to pocketing fat piles of easy cash from the wind industry for knocking out noise reports that (always) show 'compliance' with the noise conditions of planning consents - even if that requires fabricating data - as occurred at the Waubra and Cape Bridgewater … Continue reading Needless Human Suffering the Price of Wind Industry Corruption

Wind Farm Shutdown Allows Neighbours to Sleep Comfortably for 1st Time in Years

As time goes by, the irrefutable evidence mounts that incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound is a hazard to human health; and no evidence is more compelling than the negative effect wind turbine noise and vibration has on the critical need for sleep. The World Health Organisation has viewed “noise-induced sleep disturbance … as … Continue reading Wind Farm Shutdown Allows Neighbours to Sleep Comfortably for 1st Time in Years

Wind Farm Noise: Abandoned Home Doubles as Scientific Research Centre

Luann and Steve Therrien and their two toddlers are the human face of what STT despises most about the wind industry and its apologists. A young family, driven from their homes by incessant turbine generated infrasound and low-frequency noise; rendered refugees dependant on the charity of others; and, worst of all, ridiculed and vilified for … Continue reading Wind Farm Noise: Abandoned Home Doubles as Scientific Research Centre

With the Lessons from SA’s Wind Power Disaster Nothing Justifies the Endless Acoustic Torture of Wind Farm Victims

The wind industry in Australia today is in a state of constant hysteria. The events that have culminated in South Australia’s electricity supply and pricing calamity have thrown a spotlight on wind power, with public sentiment shifting from benign indifference to outright hostility (readers of The Australian’s online stories will find hundreds of comments from … Continue reading With the Lessons from SA’s Wind Power Disaster Nothing Justifies the Endless Acoustic Torture of Wind Farm Victims

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. Those that abuse the term, including a former tobacco advertising guru, claim that the known and obvious effects of being immersed in thumping waves of pulsating air pressure (ie noise and vibration), … Continue reading Why Wind Turbine Noise is Just So Incredibly Annoying to Wind Farm Victims

NSW Planning Dept Cover Up: Wind Farm Noise Documents Buried

New South Wales is a hotbed of wind industry corruption of the kind that would keep its ICAC busy for a decade (see our posts here and here). At the centre of the cesspit is the NSW Planning Department. After being bombarded with complaints raised by wind farm neighbours about incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise … Continue reading NSW Planning Dept Cover Up: Wind Farm Noise Documents Buried
