Wind Powered Energy Generation

Infrasound from wind turbines can be measured very well, and is completely overwhelmed by infrasound from traffic, crashing waves at the beach, wind in forests, industry etc… no matter how many nutters complain of vibrating lips from turbines 100km away! I make a point of visiting wind farms when traveling, and have visited many from Qld to WA, and found the sound of the blades whooshing past at close range quite pleasant.
I’ve also operated my own wind turbines here for many years, and do not mind the sound at all, if it’s windy I can barely hear them over the sound of the wind in the trees. They’ve been located only about 50m from my bedroom, and have never interfered with my sleep, or made the sheep or horses next door grow a second head!

Infrasound from wind turbines can be measured

I recall a protest group claiming that wind turbines generate sound waves that are yet to measured and there are no devices known to be able to measure them. I must admit I was a little flabbergasted when I heard this comment as it gained traction through many who claimed they had health effects from wind turbines and when some acoustic research work presented facts on potential impacts of measured noise (both audible and infrasound).
