Noise not an issue for windfarms
A study by Salford University has concluded the noise phenomenon known as aerodynamic modulation (AM) is not an issue for the UK's windfarm fleet.
AM indicates aerodynamic noise from wind turbines that is greater than the normal degree of regular fluctuation of blade swoosh. It is sometimes described as sounding like a distant train or distant piling operation. The government commissioned work assessed 133 operational wind projects across Britain and found although the occurrence of AM cannot be fully predicted, the incidence of it from operational turbines is low.
