Listening Room – wind farm noise
Author: MAS Environmental
By courtesy of MAS Environmental. The primary aim of the exercise is to broaden understanding of wind farm noise. Whilst the issues surrounding wind farm noise are greatly discussed and debated, it has been experienced by relatively few in the profession or by those responsible for influencing the decision of whether nearby residents will experience this noise and if so to what extent. The listening room experience aims to replicate listening to wind farm noise, particularly AM (Amplitude Modulation), in . . .

Author: Stigwood, Mike; Large, Sarah; and Stigwood, Duncan
In the UK the cause of amplitude modulation (AM) and the ability to predict its occurrence is considered abstruse by many. Few have experienced or measured AM and yet conclusions are frequently made asserting that it is rare and that any action to counter its effects is limited by minimal knowledge surrounding its nature and cause. This paper aims to advance current knowledge and opinion of AM. Methods used to successfully investigate AM are confirmed. AM should be measured during . . .

Author: Schneider, Clifford
The following is an excerpt from a conversation I had in April 2010 with Ben Hoen, whose work with property value impacts associated with wind projects is widely referenced by developers, including those developers hoping to have wind projects approved here in Jefferson and St. Lawrence Counties. Hoen’s comments below are very different from the spin suggested by Madden of BP Alternative Energy and Acciona’s FEIS. Hoen indicates if developers believe turbines won’t devalue neighboring property they should guarantee it, . . .

Author: Visit Wales Now
This sound recording is of a single 76-m (249-ft) wind turbine. Most turbines are now at least 330 ft high and often well over 400 ft. And, of course, there’s generally many more than just one. Download audio file: “Turbine recording, Wales”
