Guilty: Proof Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise Destroys People’s Ability to Sleep

There is no doubt that the thumping, grinding, mechanical cacophony generated by giant industrial wind turbines drives neighbours nuts. But trying to explain wind turbine noise to someone who has never had to live with it, is like trying to explain a migraine to someone who has never had a headache. A recent study from … Continue reading Guilty: Proof Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise Destroys People’s Ability to Sleep

Bad Vibrations: Proof Low Frequency Wind Turbine Noise Penetrates Neighbour’s Homes

Anyone forced to live within 2km of wind turbines will soon tell you what enduring hell on earth is all about. The thumping, grinding cacophony of low-frequency noise these things generate is not just irritating, it poses a long-term risk to human health.

Unnatural Environment: New University Study Nails Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance

The wind industry has been lying for years about the nature and effects of wind turbine noise and they’ve paid acoustic consultants a veritable fortune to do so, on their behalf. It’s criminal, to be sure, and at a government-backed, corporate scale. However, slowly but surely, ethical researchers and experts are building a body of … Continue reading Unnatural Environment: New University Study Nails Wind Turbine Noise Nuisance

Unnecessary Night-time Nuisance: Why Wind Turbine Noise Is So Much More Annoying After Dark

Delivering a thumping, grinding, mechanical cacophony, industrial wind turbines drive neighbours nuts. But, as a recent study from Flinders University in South Australia has found, there’s a reason why wind turbine noise is so much worse after dark. The pulsing, thumping nature of wind turbine noise - which relates to blades passing the tower - … Continue reading Unnecessary Night-time Nuisance: Why Wind Turbine Noise Is So Much More Annoying After Dark
