My family and I are victims of wind turbine noise. Health Canada News Release 2012-07-10 announcing a research study that will explore the relationship between wind turbine noise and health effects in people living near wind power developments. The nearest turbines are 3 km away but when the wind comes from a certain direction the noise waves bounce around the southern side of the house, making the bedrooms uninhabitable for sleep. Particularly when it comes to the urban environment. A noise study was conducted and the results indicate “that the IWT generated noise does not comply with the MOE noise guidelines ~50% of the time and that SPL's are above the predicted “worst case” ~59% of the time.”. It depends on whom you ask, and more importantly, whether that person is qualified to answer the question. Four acoustical consulting firms ran tests around a wind farm in Brown County. The preliminary report on noise testing of Fairhaven's two wind turbines, unveiled by Mass. People living near wind turbines say they can't sleep, can't think straight; that sub-audible, low-frequency sound is causing them sickness, earache, depression, and tinnitus.But are their conditions real or imaginary? Despite being the most common renewable energy technologies, solar panels and wind turbines still have their shortcomings. Wind farm noise causes “clear and significant” damage to people's sleep and mental health, according to the first full peer-reviewed scientific study of the problem. With neighbors on our small Maine island, we have spent three years litigating the State of Maine on wind turbine noise regulations and enforcement, and lack thereof. The three large wind farms currently operating in Vermont have spurred enough noise complaints to trigger an investigation by the state Department of Public Service. Before the listening sessions, half the group was shown television footage of people who lived near wind farms recounting the harmful effects they said were caused by noise from the spinning blades. Representative Andre Jacque said they found that the turbines generate low-frequency noise. DEP's Deputy Commissioner Martin Suuberg at the Board of Health meeting on May 21, 2013, continues to invoke strong language. The reliance on wind as a source of energy is increasing in Canada and around the world. Is a recent Wisconsin study the smoking gun that proves wind turbine noise causes health problems? The amount of the stress hormone cortisol found in people's hair could help scientists understand the potential health impacts that may arise from exposure to low-frequency noise and vibrations from wind turbines.
