Another concern that must be dealt with is the development of wind
turbine noise measurements that have clinical relevance.

Litchfield, N.Y., Wind Energy Facilities Local Law [PDF]-- prohibition of all wind
turbines > 50 kW — thorough
noise regulations and
measurement standards
Using data without a safety margin, such as mean values for a given
turbine model,
measurements from a single
turbine, or «best guess» for future
turbines gives in principle a probability of 50 per cent that the actual erected
turbines will emit more
noise than assumed and that
noise limits will be exceeded.»
In several records, staff noted that wind
turbine noise exceeded regulations: ««Staff have attended at the complainants homes on multiple occasions...
noise measurements were obtained... subjective observations were made by Provincial Officers... the conclusion of the POs were that the
noise emissions from the wind
turbines were causing an adverse effect contrary to S. 14 (1) of the EPA at the complainants locations...»
The review includes an up to date review of
measurement techniques for assessing
noise from wind
turbines in accordance with international standards.
«Whilst the aerodynamic
noise from a rotating
turbine blade produces energy in the infrasound range,
measurements of infrasound
noise emissions from modern upwind
turbines indicates that at distances of 200 metres, infrasound is in the order of 25 dB below the recognised perception threshold of 85 dB (G) and other similar recognised perception thresholds (Hayes Mckenzie Partnership Ltd, 2006).
