“…There is increasing awareness of environmental noise in the infrasound (IS, < 20 Hz) and low-frequency (LF, 20-200 Hz) ranges (Pedersen et al, 2008;Alves et al, 2015;Yamada et al, 2016). Although absolute hearing sensitivity decreases with lowering frequency as a result of peripheral mechanisms (Cheatham, Dallos, 2001;Jurado, Marquardt, 2016), the annoyance and decrease in life quality resulting from prolonged exposure to IS and LF, particularly those associated with emissions from wind turbines, has recently received much attention (e.g. Leventhall, 2009;Schmidt, Klokker, 2014;Baliatsas et al, 2016).…”
