Today WCO received a Review of the MOE Turbine Noise Compliance Test at the Libby Home, written by John Harrison, PhD.
I'll attempt to introduce the document by continuing some thoughts from an earlier post on this week's Belgium Superior Health Council.release of "Public health effects of siting and operating onshore wind turbines | Publication of the Superior Health Council No 8738"
Emphasizing the confusion being introduced by multiple claims in multiple 'reviews,' based on very little actual study, is a new post at the the Acoustic Ecology Institute blog, where Jim Cummings notes visits to "the wind research teams at Sandia National Lab and the National Renewable Energy Lab’s National Wind Technology Center."

The noise levels due to the operation of wind turbines and wind farms near people’s homes should comply with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and WHO Europe guidelines for daytime and night-time noise exposure in order to avoid serious annoyance and (self-reported) sleep disturbance. This would lead to sound levels below 45 dB(A) during day-time and 40 dB(A) at night.This blog noted the The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) response to the Superior Health Council document; a response which including a link to a Simon Chapman list of "17 reviews" - many of the 17 references are also cited by Belgium's Superior Health Council.
