How Do Residents Experience Wind Turbine Noise? The Results of a Two-Year Study

Author:  Koppen, Erik; Ekelschot-Smink, Madelon; and Boon, Jaap

Noise from wind turbines is often a significant concern for nearby residents. To better understand the actual impact of wind turbine noise, an interactive app was utilized across several wind projects, allowing residents to easily report their real-time experiences with turbine noise. One such project involves 26 wind turbines in the Netherlands, grouped into three geographically separated clusters, spread over a 26-kilometre stretch along a busy motorway. For two years, starting from the turbines’ initial operation, residents could report noise-related . . .

Perceived Noise Impact of Transitioning Towards Larger Wind Turbines Using Auralisations

Author:  Pockelé, Josephine Siebert; and Merino-Martinez, Roberto

The human perception of two wind turbines of different sizes, a small NTK turbine and a larger NREL model, was evaluated through their synthetically auralised sound. A wide range of wind speed conditions and observer locations was considered. The simulated sounds were analyzed using equivalent sound pressure levels and psychoacoustic sound quality metrics. Moreover, listening experiments were conducted to evaluate the human response to the same sounds. The least-squares models fitted to the results provided scaling laws for the different . . .

Vibrational noise from wind energy turbines negatively impacts earthworm abundance

Author:  Velilla, Estefania; Collinson, Eleanor; Bellato, Laura; Berg, Matty; and Halfwerk, Wouter

[abstract] Human activities often impact the sensory environment of organisms. Wind energy turbines are a fast-growing potential source of anthropogenic vibrational noise that can affect soil animals sensitive to vibrations and thereby alter soil community functioning. Larger soil animals, such as earthworms (macrofauna, > 1 cm in size), are particularly likely to be impacted by the low-frequency turbine waves that can travel through soils over large distances. Here we examine the effect of wind turbine-induced vibrational noise on the abundance of soil . . .

Windparken mengen zich in het weer [Wind facilities interfere with the weather]

Author:  Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut

Uit een recente studie met het KNMI weermodel blijkt dat windparken het weer beïnvloeden. De wind in de buurt van windparken neemt gemiddeld af en ook de temperatuur en luchtvochtigheid veranderen. Het is niet zo dat windenergie klimaatverandering veroorzaakt want het effect van windparken op het weer is plaatselijk. Toch is het effect in bepaalde weersituaties op grote afstand van het windpark nog merkbaar. Windparken zijn atmosfeer-mixers  Draaiende rotorbladen van een windturbine zetten bewegingsenergie van de wind om in elektriciteit. . . .
