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 study from Flinders University … Continue reading Peace At Last: Neighbours Enjoy First Decent Sleep In Years After Wind Turbine Shutdown

Hidden Harm: How Wind Turbine Noise Permanently Damages Neighbours’ Long-Term Health
Giant industrial wind turbines deliver a cacophony of thumping, grinding low-frequency noise for those forced to live with it. Anyone claiming that it’s not a miserable daily torment hasn’t lived with it, or they’re on the wind industry payroll. A couple of years back, STT produced a timeline which highlighted how the wind industry and … Continue reading Hidden Harm: How Wind Turbine Noise Permanently Damages Neighbours’ Long-Term Health
Industrial Noise Overload: What Makes Wind Turbine Noise So Soul Destroying
For those unfortunates forced to live with incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound, the cause of their inability to sleep is no mystery. For a taste of what life with these things is really like, why not start with Clive and Trina Gare (South Australian farmers paid $200,000 per year to host 19 2MW … Continue reading Industrial Noise Overload: What Makes Wind Turbine Noise So Soul Destroying
Heartless: Wind Industry Covers Up Health Effects Caused by Low-Frequency Turbine Noise
A couple of years back, STT produced a timeline which highlighted how the wind industry and its pet acoustic consultants managed to set up ‘rules’ which have no relevance to the noise impacts experienced by wind farm neighbours and under which wind power outfits could ride roughshod over rural communities with complete impunity. That post … Continue reading Heartless: Wind Industry Covers Up Health Effects Caused by Low-Frequency Turbine Noise
Justice Prevails: Wind Developers Charged Over Water Wells Contaminated with Toxic Sludge
Ontario’s farmers, furious about the toxic sludge coming out of their wells, have finally got the wind power outfits causing it charged with a raft of offences under the Environment Protection Act. Pile-driving and the excavations required for 400m³ of steel reinforced concrete for the hundreds of turbine bases across Chatham-Kent are the only new … Continue reading Justice Prevails: Wind Developers Charged Over Water Wells Contaminated with Toxic Sludge
Supreme Ignorance: Bernie Sanders Mocks Wind Turbine Noise Victims’ Daily Suffering
Trying to explain life with wind turbine noise to the uninitiated is like trying to explain a migraine to someone that’s never had a headache. Presidential hopeful, Bernie Sanders is yet another loony from the left with his own worldview on what is, for those forced to suffer it, a very real form of … Continue reading Supreme Ignorance: Bernie Sanders Mocks Wind Turbine Noise Victims’ Daily Suffering
Highland Victory: Court Finds Insidious Wind Turbine Noise ‘Jet-Like’ & Orders Wind Farm Shutdown
Driving neighbours nuts with incessant wind turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound is what the wind industry does best. Wind power outfits literally create headaches wherever they ply their subsidy-soaked trade. But, increasingly, people and communities with the temerity to stand up for their rights are doing just that. And winning. Stuartfield couple win battle against … Continue reading Highland Victory: Court Finds Insidious Wind Turbine Noise ‘Jet-Like’ & Orders Wind Farm Shutdown
Noise Matters: Why Wind Turbine Noise Drives Wind Farm Neighbours Nuts
Life next to industrial wind turbines is a living hell for far too many rural residents. Practically incessant turbine-generated low-frequency noise and infra-sound drives neighbours nuts, preventing them from sleeping in – and otherwise enjoying the comforts of – their very own homes. An Australian Court found long-term exposure to wind turbine noise to be … Continue reading Noise Matters: Why Wind Turbine Noise Drives Wind Farm Neighbours Nuts
Silent Killer: Why Wind Turbine Infrasound Causes Serious Health Problems for Wind Farm Neighbours
Evidence proving the unnecessary harm done to wind farm neighbours by wind turbine noise mounts by the day: Germany’s Max Planck Institute has identified sub-audible infrasound as the cause of stress, sleep disruption and more (see our post here); and a Swedish group have shown that it’s the pulsing nature of low-frequency wind turbine noise … Continue reading Silent Killer: Why Wind Turbine Infrasound Causes Serious Health Problems for Wind Farm Neighbours
WHO Says Wind Turbines a ‘Health Hazard’? The World Health Organization, That’s WHO
The recent release of the World Health Organization's Environmental Noise Guidelines for Europe has the wind industry in a flat panic. The Guidelines - available here - have nominated exposure to wind turbine noise as “More than a nuisance” it’s “a health risk – contributing to cardiovascular diseases, for example”: Wind Industry Panics as Class Actions Loom: … Continue reading WHO Says Wind Turbines a ‘Health Hazard’?
