Abstract:Noise remains an obstacle to the advancement of onshore wind energy. Despite the ongoing debate on the effects of infrasound on human health, especially from wind turbines, there is consensus that the blade passing frequency (BPF) in the infrasound range modulates the audible higher-frequency sound and creates a rhythmic “swishing” sound at farther distances. This paper presents a simulation framework for assessing infrasound noise (<20 Hz) from wind turbines, which was designed to capture the relevant phys… Show more
