The repeated discussions in the Media in Ireland surrounding wind energy impact to local communities, with noise/ shadow flicker and economic benefits/costs being the two main themes. Standing about 200 paces away, by a nearby main road, the blades sound distant, and the sound of a passing car drowns out the turbine noise. The public response to wind turbines operating in a number of Massachusetts coastal communities have been greeted with a mixed response. Prairie Rose is trying to “resolve” the noise “problem” by application of the State Industrial Noise Standard which doesn't measure low-frequency turbine noise. The reliance on wind as a source of energy is increasing in Canada and around the world. Australian acoustics researchers are investigating the causes of wind turbine noise with the aim of making them quieter and solving. The von Trapp family came to Vermont, because it reminded them of Austria, where “the hills are alive with the sounds of music”. €�The advent of anti-wind farm groups beginning to foment concerns about health (from around 2009) was also strongly correlated with actual complaints being made,” says the report. Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy told the state's Public Utilities Commission last week that it is “unable to wait any longer” and wants to break a 20-year power purchase agreement with New Era Wind Farm LLC, the developer behind the long- stalled 78-megawatt wind project. A CONSTANT banging noise from work to build Redcar's offshore wind farm gave locals a right ear-bashing.
