Answer:
Wind turbine noise can become a problem for local communities, developers and sponsors. The noise pollution produced by a wind farm can have severe negative effects on people’s sleeping pattern, psychological and physical health. The noise of the wind turbines causes certain levels of noise (tonal noise, impulse noise, and night-time noise), which are generated from the mechanical and the aerodynamic factors.
Several studies on the effect of wind turbine noise on human health have linked wind turbine noise with annoyance and sleep disturbance.
Wind turbine noise can be mitigated by using quieter turbines or by siting wind turbines at sufficient distance from residences likely to be affected by wind turbine noise. Additionally, wind turbine noise can be minimized with proper planning and siting.
