Wind turbines generate noise of two types: mechanical and aerodynamic. The mechanical noise is tonal and produced by the moving components within the nacelle. These components include the gearbox,

Operating wind turbines can create several types of sounds, including a mechanical hum produced by the generator and a “whooshing” noise produced by the blades moving through the air.
Customer Service
Narrowband noise is generated when the blade of the wind turbine crosses the support tower. The tower obstructs the flow of the wind; hence there is a velocity deficit. It creates a fluctuation in the load on
Customer Service
Infrasound is noise with frequencies below 20 Hz. Infrasound generated by wind turbines is characterized by tonal components at the blade passing frequency and its harmonics.
Customer Service
As wind turbine blades are designed to be more efficient, less aerodynamic noise is created. Gearboxes, one of the noisiest components, are designed to be quiet by flexing and thus
Customer Service
Wind turbines most commonly produce some broadband noise as their revolving rotor blades encounter turbulence in the passing air. Broadband noise is usually described as a "swishing" or "whooshing"

This study explores the use of noise emitted during wind turbine operation for the assessment of blade structural integrity.
Customer Service
In this article, we will discuss the rotor blade noise related issues and show how to detect, track, and mitigate rotor blade noise.
