More on Turbine Noise.

Here is a quote I have taken from the Comments under an article to be read here:

http://www.windturbinesyndrome.com/news/2011/what-the-hells-the-matter-with-you-people-massachusetts/

The quote is from a Comment by Barry Funfar:

"The fact that the effects are cumulative and increase in severity as time goes on is major. Someone siting on our porch for 30 minutes is just not going to get it. And foolishly some do drive-byes expecting to hear some loud noises. Loudness is not generally the issue. It is the special characteristics of the noise that drives one crazy."

The article and the Comments both ask why it is that developers, the wind industry, some Greens, and other supporters of wind power ignore the distress of those who are suffering from wind turbine noise.

Fullabrook Turbine Noise

This video was made in August without a proper microphone, and I was not able to record the sound properly. I was however well aware that turbine noise was already becoming a problem for residents living "in the wind farm".
Now some residents have gone public about this, and you can read what they have to say here:

Re whales and wind farms

We linked to a Press Report in mid March concerning whales and wind turbines. The Press Report was incorrect and the scientific paper that was mentioned in it did not mention wind farms.


Here is the correction on www.telegraph.co.uk


More information here as well:

We are sorry to have linked (in good faith) to an incorrect Press Report. We do however think that there remains a strong possibility that whales could be disturbed by turbine noise. Obviously, proving this is not easy.
