Videos from National Wind Watch
This video is available here via You Tube. It was made by "beteigh", who writes: "The sound on this clips is just as it was recorded on my camcorder. The difference in volume and pitch is due to the speed of the gusts of wind and not any tinkering by me. In fact to get any realistic sound I have to turn my computer volume up full. What I can't show is the modulation of the sound, a strange 'whoosh-whoosh' that goes right through you -- it's horrible. I now understand how distressing is must be for people who have to put up with that relentless sound day and night. These huge developments are also ruining our countryside and decimating wildlife habitats." It is 5.1 MB in size.
