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. The first round of noise studies is in from Kingdom Community Wind, the contentious wind-energy development straddling a ridgeline between Lowell and Albany. After a state report shows some instances of excessive noise, Fairhaven, Mass., votes to shut down two 1.5 megawatt wind turbines between 7 a.m. A German kid and her dad rebut the fears of wind turbine noise with a cool new video. Kouwen put together a very competent system for measuring noise and wind speed specifically for wind turbines in Ontario. The state's noise sampling is not even complete and there are simple fixes, like changing their angle to the wind, that can reduce the nighttime noise of wind turbines while still allowing them to collect lots of free clean energy. 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.”. Wind turbine noise impact measurements are most commonly used to ensure that the wind system complies with standards such as IEC 61400-11:2002 (International Electrotechnical Commission). 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. This installment of the Energy Flashes feature touched briefly on over a dozen topics, including a corporate crime penalty that benefitted the company responsible, wind turbine noise, and a French nuclear accident. The $250 million project stalled when the commission, on a 2-1 vote, decided to deploy a more conservative standard for wind turbine noise limits.
