Wind Turbine Infra and Low-Frequency Sound : Warning Signs That Were Not Heard |
"There is sufficient research and history to link the sensitivity
of some people to inaudible amplitude-modulated infra
and low-frequency noise to the type of symptoms described
by those living near industrial wind turbines.
This information should have served as a warning sign.
Experts, some well known in the field of acoustics, have
defended the wind industry position through white papers,
reports, and testimony in hearings, and through committees
that are establishing guidelines for siting industrial-scale
wind turbines." |

The Noise From Wind Turbines: Potential Adverse Impacts on Children's Well-Being |
"Noise can not only harm your hearing—it can also make it
hard to concentrate while reading or doing homework, make
you frustrated, prevent you from falling asleep, and make it
hard to communicate with your family and friends." |

Infrasound Emission from Wind Turbines, Jørgen Jakobsen 2006 |
Jakobsen findet die gefundenen Infraschall - Schallpegel unproblematisch. Das Dokument zeigt aber eindrücklich, welche Schalldrücke durch verschiedene Anlagen emittiert werden. Sie bewegen sich exakt in den von Salt / Hullar diskutierten Werten, die nach neuesten Erkenntnissen eben doch einen Einfluss auf das Gehör haben. |

A Review of Published Research on Low Frequency Noise and its Effects |
Low frequency noise causes extreme distress to a number of people who are
sensitive to its effects. Such sensitivity may be a result of heightened sensory
response within the whole or part of the auditory range or may be acquired.
The noise levels are often low, occurring in the region of the hearing threshold,
where there are considerable individual differences. |

Wind turbines cause health problems |
"The review concludes that a safe buffer zone of at least 2km should exist between family dwellings and industrial wind turbines of up to 2MW installed capacity, with greater separation for a wind turbine greater than 2MW installed capacity." |

Low-frequency noise from large wind turbines |
Henrik Møller and Christian Sejer Pedersen 2010: The relative amount of low-frequency noise is higher for large turbines (2.3–3.6 MW) than for small turbines (≤ 2 MW), and the difference is statistically significant. |

DIN Infraschall 45680 |
In diesem Norm-Entwurf ist ein Verfahren zur Messung und Beurteilung tieffrequenter Geräuschimmissionen für die Terzbänder von 8 Hz bis 125 Hz in Wohngebäuden bei Luft- und/oder Körperschallübertragung festgelegt. Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass die Wahrnehmung und Wirkung tieffrequenter Geräusche deutlich von der Wahrnehmung und Wirkung mittel- oder hochfrequenter, schmal- oder breitbandiger Geräusche abweichen. |
