Wind turbine noise - Suncor wind farm Ripley

Noise from wind turbines at the Suncor wind farm Ripley Ont. Even though it has a 700 meter setback people are suffering from lack of sleep. They have also lost the enjoyment of their property.

Noise is recorded from the base of the tower then amplified greatly then overlaid on to footage shot far off to imply they are hugely noisy at distance - wind turbine blades are like glider wings -very quiet.

Nice try ass-hole. I shot the video from near the road with no manipulation of video or sound.

These fucking turbines are driving people crazy but you try to justify them. They are fraud. Trying to save us from the MMGW scam with the wind farm scam. Two scams don't make TRUTH.

See, that's funny, because I was just near a wind turbine in Hull, Massachusetts, and my friend and I had to get REALLY close to the turbine to even know what it sounded like.

Wind power seems to be working pretty well for the Europeans, maybe try expressing your concerns to them.

@WednesdayAdams1968 Why would you be sarcastic, at least they provide energy all of the time, unlike these pointless monstrosities! If you choose to live in a city that's fine you chose to live with noise, the people who choose to live in the countryside do so to enjoy the peace and quiet it brings. These are not wind 'farms' this is just a spin name for industrial wind turbine plant, no other industry would be allowed to be built in the heart of the country!

this video was very interesting. why caint them niggers put the blades where it dont piss people off? it is enough to make you feel sorry for people who live near a bloody airport. don't you think it would be better to buy the fukushima used parts and put them in the high demand towns? jap version dont use cooling tower fans which make noise. they dump thermal to the ocean. very quiet system except for a few loud events

Holy crap, nice going with putting the sound through the ENTIRE monologue. That really drives the point home. I originally thought "eh, it's almost a pleasant noise, but they probably know better cuz they live with it." By the end I was just like MAKE IT STOP. That's god-awful annoying. =.= I can't believe you're expected to just deal with it. The gov. really is a bunch of self-serving a-holes.

Windfarms are a scam, a money-making exercise for rich landowners and developers in league with dodgy politicians.

See our video for yet another example.

Crooks, lairs, thieves.

@ChuffChuffWoo LIAR Ever heard a sub woofer from a car? Low freq. travel very long distances. Sub-sonic sounds even farther.

[tommylehman]

Only stupid ass Tea Baggers complain about the sound of wind farms. I've been around them and they're not that bad. It's better than getting energy from coal.

[drfeelnothing]

The next time someone says "would you sooner have a coal or nuclear plant in your backyard" i`m going to beat them over the head with a bat.What are you going to have in your backyard when there are days of NO WIND  to have POWER? IDIOTS

[mugglemugger]

I live near turbines as well, I have been close to them and you cannot hear a thing. Canada needs to step up its game in the turbine business, because they shouldn't be that loud.

That being said, I believe you may be turning something bad into what seems like an epic tragedy you wrote to accompany the video. I feel your pain, but, coming from somebody that has to deal with people a lot in my business, NOBODY likes to deal with someone who is uncontrollably mad. Relax and take care of it.

Niagara Falls is noisy-shut it down.

Coal plants are noisy and smell-shut it down.

Nukes plants make me glow and the waste lasts 10,000 years-shut it down.

The only solution here is to take down all hydro lines and move back into our candle lite huts.

It ain't that bad. I've lived near them for years and I'm fine, my dog is fine, my family is fine. The noisy neighbours kid's stereo pisses me off though...
