Do Wind Turbines Make Noise?

@Peter5930 And they built the road when? And you are miles from the wind turbine so? And your point is? This video is just silly...low frequency noise like a thunder clap is hard to reproduce. Go read about low frequency noise used as a weapon...VLF weapons. It is hard to imagine how thousands of people in every country with wind turbines all with different languages all have the same problems. Why don't all people have the same problem...why don't all people get sea sick?

@Peter5930 Yeah, I got my calcs wrong. You are correct. Power = energy per second.

@venturen I have traffic going by my bedroom 24-hours a day thanks to living on a suburban rat-run; some of the heavier vehicles make the whole house shake and rattle, and it can leave my ears ringing if my window is open when some asshole with a loud exhaust pipe passes by. There's a windfarm nearby; the second largest in Europe, but it's way out on the moors, where it can't disturb anyone, except for those who object to the mere sight of it silently operating in the distance.

@NANOFORGE Since one watt is one joule per second, 4.5MW would be the same amount of energy as a kilo of TNT every second. Allowing for a capacity factor of 25%, each 1.5MW wind turbine would generate an amount of energy equivalent to 90g of TNT per second, or 324kg of TNT per hour, or 2,838 tonnes of TNT per year.

It is a shame that there is not more of these wind turbines in this country. We all would be better off!

It just proves that people will believe just about anything. There is no proof that the turbine shown was not filmed at an extreme distance with a telescoping lens. We only see its top...not the base. Also, the blade rotation speed is approximately 33% of that used on a regular basis. I know as live 1500 ft from a 484 ft industrial sized one. You only have to count the seconds it takes for one blade to perform one full rotation. High speed is 2.5 to 3.0. The one in this video is 4.5.

@jontag78 Way to present a valid argument. ANd I have seen the bats myself.

@jontag78 I'm 6' 2" and 155 lbs. (71kg), which is rather light for someone my height. So when I said that was a weak turbine, I meant it ;)
OH MY GOD MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!!! TURN IT DOWN!!!

Okay, you don't show how big that thing is though. And how many are there? you only show one. Let's see the noise when they are 400 feet and there over 100 of them.
