Wind Turbine Noise Dissected

Wind turbine noise is comprised of two different frequency sets.  The so-called whooshing noise (which is audible) is at approximately 300 Hz. Infrasound (which is inaudible) occurs at frequencies from 0 to 15 Hz. The audible range causes Wind Turbine Syndrome and the inaudible range causes Vibroacoustic Disease.
