Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Papers on wind turbine noise « AGW Observer
Wind farms are unique sound sources and exhibit special audible and inaudible characteristics that can be described as modulating sound or as a tonal complex. Wind farm compliance measures based on a specified noise number alone will fail to address problems with noise nuisance.

Hmm. Looks like wind farms ought to employ a sound designer. I'm not being flippant. Tune it right, it could be a plus, not a minus.

Interesting thought.
Car manufacturers spend time of getting the right sound at the right time, from the engine to closing doors - a BMW being designed to sound "solid" or "like a safe".

(I must not be very manly: I'd prefer a car to be quiet.)

Will we get stratification and snobbism based on turbine/blade sound?
