Cape Bridgewater Study in Australia Falmouth, Massachusetts The sound from a wind turbine can make other objects vibrate (such as the body) if the sound frequency matches a resonant frequency of an object Affidavits submitted by Brown County residents in Shirley Wind indicating that the wind turbines have adversely affected their health Wind turbines continue to get larger and larger (in both size and MW output), the noise is dropping in frequency, and the content of low frequency and infrasonic . . .

Author: Burke, Elisa; et al.
ABSTRACT— At many immission sites, human exposure to infrasound (f < 20 Hz) is usually accompanied by sound in the audio-frequency range (audio sound, 20 Hz ≤ f < 20 kHz). This gives rise to the question of whether the interaction between infrasound and audio sound affects the quality of auditory perception. Psychoacoustic experiments were performed within the framework of the EARS 2 project of the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR). Recent results in this project had already shown that . . .
More »Frequency characteristics of oppressive and vibratory feeling to low-frequency sound
Author: Morinaga, Makoto; et al.
ABSTRACT— Although experimental results on oppressive and vibratory feelings due to low-frequency sound are widely known, those studies were conducted about 40 years ago in Japan and some questions remain to be examined. For example, “oppressive feeling” and “vibratory feeling” are generally unfamiliar terms, but it is not clear how these terms were explained to or understood by participants. In the present study, an experiment was conducted using a method similar to the previously reported method, and the frequency characteristics . . .
