    AFAIK, 6+ MW windmills are only used at sea, providing shelter against large drag nets.

    In conclusion, no. Wind turbines don't make noise.

    Of course these ones are quiet - you are upwind of them. Try downwind on a day when the turbines are actually managing to produce some energy.

    I am sorry to say that I installed a 350w sunforce & its is so noisy that the neighbours complain bitterly. I want to replace it with one that dosen't wake the dead so I'm shopping around for one with low noise polution.

    Erm I think you will find most of the noise is just wind noise going into the microphone, as the noise is very inconsitant- that is not from the wind turbine

    There are many factors affecting wind turbine noise and the main one is rotor speed. A new wind farm came online near my town and the largest in the Caribbean (I am in Puerto Rico) with 44 Siemens SWT-2.3-108 turbines which are around 425 feet tall. Here is a video of one turbine located near a road and how its noise compares with traffic. It is the same turbine in both shots at about the same distance using the same camera and similar weather conditions. youtube.com/watch?v=6HPuvRBUm3­M
