A study from Flinders University in South Australia found, that there’s a reason why wind turbine noise is so much worse after dark; precisely when people are trying to wind down and, at some point, sleep.
The Flinders University study identified the culprit as the pulsing, thumping nature of wind turbine noise – aka ‘amplitude modulation’ (AM) – which relates to blades passing the tower – that results in peaks and troughs in sound pressure levels – that makes living with wind turbine noise a daily misery for thousands around the world.
Australia’s Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) held that…
