On a run out to El Paso, I stopped and recorded these wind turbines at T. Boone Pickett's windfarm just west of Sweetwater, TX. I had heard that wind turbines were disturbingly loud, so I wanted to see for myself. As you can hear in the video, passing traffic on the interstate 200 yards away was louder than the wind turbine 100 yards in front of me.
They are loud when they malfunction, but other than that.. Quiet!
