Operating noise produced from wind turbines is considerably different in level and nature than most large scale power plants, which can be classified as industrial sources. Wind turbines are often sited in rural or remote areas that have a corresponding ambient noise character.
The sources of noise emitted from operating wind turbines can be divided into two categories: 1) Mechanical, and 2) Aerodynamic. The primary sources of mechanical noise are the gearbox and the generator. Mechanical noise is transmitted along the structure of the turbine and is radiated from its surfaces.
Conclusions The present paper reviewed several wind turbine noise mechanisms and mitigation methods along with the impact of noise from wind turbines on human life. Wind turbine noise is found to be more annoying than other community noise sources.
The sound of a wind turbine is mainly created by those generators housed within the nacelles can also create a constant droning or humming noise, though this is more common in older turbines. As with any noisy object, the closer you are, the louder it gets.
Wind turbines create a type of noise that is subject to regulation. National and regional regulations establish limits and minimum distances to ensure their integration into the environment.
