A presentation given by Dr. Christopher Hanning on the subject of wind turbine noise can be found here.
This is a scientific view of how turbine noise affects people and the type of noise generated. It's NOT the same as motorway noise.
A Lincoln based couple are suing a wind farm operator because they have had to move out of their house due to noise. See the Daily Mail article here.
They live half a mile away from the turbine. Lots of Earley, Shinfield, Arborfield, etc residents live less distance than this from the proposed Rushy Mead turbines.
In a letter to the RT Hon Chris Huhne MP (Minister for state) Philip Mulligan (Chief Executive for Environmental Protection UK) has recently stated that the government guidelines on noise (ETSU-R-97), which the planners will be using to justify the wind farm planning application, are woefully out of date. We have reproduced this letter here.
http://www.wind-watch.org/ww-victims.php has a growing body of scientific research on the effects actually measured rather than those theoretically predicted. There are quite a few horror stories from those who have been the victims of wind farm developments.
