Wind Industry Always Knew That Wind Turbine Noise Exposure Causes Adverse Health Effects

The wind industry has worked very hard to cover up sleep deprivation and other adverse health effects caused by turbine-generated low-frequency noise and infrasound. It started with the woefully inadequate, indeed, utterly irrelevant noise standards written by the wind industry; and the institutional corruption that: a) allowed those standards to become the “benchmarks” in the first … Continue reading Wind Industry Always Knew That Wind Turbine Noise Exposure Causes Adverse Health Effects

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

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

Home Wreckers: Wind Turbine Noise Destroys Ability to Enjoy Normal Sleep

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 Home Wreckers: Wind Turbine Noise Destroys Ability to Enjoy Normal Sleep

Government’s Wind Industry Protection Racket: Wind Farm Noise ‘Rules’ A Sick Joke

Around the world, pliant governments allowed the wind industry to create utterly meaningless wind turbine noise ‘rules’ that allow wind power outfits to get away with murder. Giant industrial wind turbines deliver a merciless, thumping, grinding cacophony of daily torment to families forced to live next to them. And if you think pocketing cash in … Continue reading Government’s Wind Industry Protection Racket: Wind Farm Noise ‘Rules’ A Sick Joke

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’? The World Health Organization, That’s WHO

Wind Industry Panics as Class Actions Loom: WHO Finds Wind Turbine Noise Harmful to Health

It’s no mystery to those forced to live next to wind turbines that the incessant low-frequency noise they generate is seriously harmful to health. When humans set out to torture each other, sleep deprivation is usually top of the list. The wind industry has been doing just that, with impunity, for the best part of … Continue reading Wind Industry Panics as Class Actions Loom: WHO Finds Wind Turbine Noise Harmful to Health

Falmouth’s Victory: Noisy Community Destroying Wind Turbines to Be Demolished

Back in November 2013, we reported on the orders made by a Court in Falmouth, Massachusetts that pulled to a halt the operation of a couple of Vestas V82s that have been driving townspeople nuts, since they kicked into gear almost 7 years ago (see our post here). We’ve also reported on Barry Funfar, a former … Continue reading Falmouth’s Victory: Noisy Community Destroying Wind Turbines to Be Demolished

Why Pulsing Wind Turbine Noise Causes Nightmares For Neighbours

  Starting over 30 years ago, the wind industry established noise rules deliberately designed to allow it to operate with complete impunity, while punishing wind farm neighbours with incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound: Three Decades of Wind Industry Deception: A Chronology of a Global Conspiracy of Silence and Subterfuge In December last year, … Continue reading Why Pulsing Wind Turbine Noise Causes Nightmares For Neighbours
