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 […]

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. Deprive someone of sleep for any length of time, and their health […]

Far Out: German Study Finds Pulsing Wind Farm Infrasound 20 Kilometres From Turbines

Overrun by 30,000 or so giant industrial wind turbines, it’s no surprises that Germans know all about the misery of wind turbine noise. A component of the cacophony of low-frequency, amplitude modulated noise generated by these things occurs in frequencies meant to be below what humans can ordinarily hear. But that does not mean that […]

Why Pulsing Low-Frequency Wind Turbine Noise is so Annoying to Neighbours

  Trying to explain the pulsing, rhythmic low-frequency noise generated by wind turbines to someone who hasn’t had to live with it, is like trying to explain a migraine to someone that’s never had a headache. One man who has done more than anybody in Australia to provide an objective explanation as to just why […]

South Australian Wind Turbine Noise Study Targets Neurological Effects on Sleep

Government noise regulators have spent 30 years covering up the effects of wind turbine noise on neighbours, and have done so with the help of the wind industry’s pet acoustic consultants: Three Decades of Wind Industry Deception: A Chronology of a Global Conspiracy of Silence and Subterfuge Australia can count its ethical acoustic engineers on one hand. […]

How the Wind Industry Rigged Noise Rules to Get Away with Murder

In the war against the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, few individuals come close to South Australia’s Mary Morris. Mary’s knowledge of acoustics and understanding of how the wind industry rigged the so-called noise ‘guidelines’ in its favour with the aid of its pet acoustic consultants, is second to none. Here’s Mary […]

Wake in Fright: Wind Turbine Infrasound Causes Panic, Fear & Nightmares

The evidence proving the unnecessary damage done to wind farm neighbours by the noise generated by giant industrial wind turbines is mounting 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 […]

Wind Turbine Noise & Vibration Causing Harm to Humans & Animals Alike

For those unfortunates forced to live with incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound, the cause of the sleep deprivation they suffer is no mystery. Moreover, a menagerie of domestic and wild animals stuck next to wind turbines suffer similar effects, including well-documented increases in the stress hormone cortisol (see our post here). Dr Mariana […]

The Monstrous ‘Ethics’ of the Wind Industry’s Acoustic Consultants

The acoustic consultants who have made $millions from writing utterly irrelevant noise ‘rules’ and defending them in front of planning courts and panels will never be accused of acting ethically. Their clients demand compliance reports that are made-to-measure, and they are happy to oblige, by either causing data to disappear or simply changing the numbers […]

Poles Apart: New Turbine Setback Rules Threaten Doom for Polish Wind Industry

Over-run by these things, faced with thousand of furious neighbours demanding an end to the onslaught, and spiralling power costs, Poland has mounted an enormous about face: where the wind industry was the flavour of the month for a year or two, it’s just been hit with the first salvo in an effort to give […]
