“…The sound associated with wind turbine operation has, in general, been described as continuous in nature, and characterised by one or more tonal components typically at frequencies below 1000 Hz (Degn, 2000;Betke et al, 2004;Madsen et al, 2006;Wahlberg and Westerberg, 2005;Tougaard et al, 2009;Sigray and Andersson, 2011). For turbines with a staged gearbox system, the noise output has been found to vary with wind speed, and wind-driven turbine parameters, including blade revolution, and gearbox and generator rate of operation (Madsen et al, 2006;Betke et al, 2004;Sigray and Andersson, 2011).…”
