Wind noise from the generator

How loud is a wind turbine?

Perhaps the most important measurement of wind turbine noise is if it is more than 5dB louder than any background or surrounding ambient noise. If a wind turbine starts to bypass the 5dB level of loudness over surrounding ambient noises it will start to become noticeable.

Why do wind turbines make a loud noise?

The faster the blades are spinning, the more frequent the pulse of the sound becomes. Without other ambient noise to block out this whooshing noise, there have been many cases of nearby residents being very irritated by the wind turbine.

Do wind turbines make a sound?

The presence of wind turbine sound can depend on atmospheric conditions, including air flow patterns and turbulence, as well as a person’s ability to perceive the sound, which varies based on site-specific topography (the shape of the terrain) and the presence of other nearby sources of sound, manmade or otherwise.

There have been cases of the aerodynamic “whooshing” noise of a wind turbine causing psychological stress, loss of sleep, fatigue, and emotional stress. The “whooshing” noise, which is usually easier to hear at night due to lower ambient noise levels, is a pulsating noise that occurs simultaneously with the spinning of the blades.
