Are Wind Turbines Noisy?

Here is some footage of Wind Turbines at Fenner Wind Farm and the sounds we are surround by everyday. You be the judge.

best video ever. meanwhile, people die fighting wars for oil, and NIMBY people cry about wind farms being to loud. People are getting killed in war for oil, people are complaining about wwindmill noise.

they are pretty quiet to but when they get older they get louder unless they are maintained properly

Look for other vids on YouTube, one moving at speed do make noise, but I still like the idea of wind energy

[C. Timmerman]

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

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

[Shari Cooper]

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

A DAISY IS MORE QUIET!!! OMG WINDMILLS ARE NOISY

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
