"One has to wonder how many measurements will it take before the MOE accepts the reality that wind turbines are louder and more disruptive than they’re admitting, and certainly violate their own standards."
Last year Dr. Kouwen put together a very competent system for measuring noise and wind speed specifically for wind turbines in Ontario. His first foray into the field demonstrated that the noise from wind turbine projects routinely exceeds both what they predicted and what the Ontario regulations allow. More recently he took his equipment to another location and found, yet again, these violations. There is now an unbroken string of measurements (a sampling: Ashbee, Rand, Shirley, Kouwen, Libby) at homes of complaining neighbors that demonstrates, beyond any reasonable debate, that these noise complaints are caused by (drum roll) noise! I have yet to see a case of a complaining neighbor where there wasn’t some underlying noise or vibration problem that could be traced to wind turbines. Weaver continues this string.Kouwen traveled to the Weaver residence, just south of Arthur, Ontario. The Weavers have the misfortune to live about 700 metres downwind from a wind turbine...Please continue reading at Wind Farm Realities
