The Acoustic Ecology Institute's «Wind Farm Noise 2011: Science and policy overview», compiled by Jim Cummings, makes the point that several Scandinavian studies have
shown turbine noise annoyance is notably higher in rural settings than in more built up areas.

Turbine noise is an ongoing concern: Wind Concerns received MOECC documents earlier this year
showing that the ministry has had thousands of complaints about excessive
noise and vibration from operating wind
turbines, but has not resolved any of the problems.
Infrasound — Expand MOECC testing to include the full range of
noise emissions from wind
turbines as independent testing
shows the presence of elevated levels of infrasound in homes where residents have had to leave to protect their health.
Here is a «time line»
showing the history of Wind
Turbine Noise problems, going back as far as 1979.
The evidence
showed that this was a quiet neighborhood and that the wind
turbine would substantially impact the neighborhood, not only because of its
noise and size but also the negative financial impact it would have on the properties.
