Peer-reviewed study shatters claims that wind turbines are “safe”
Link found between infrasound emitted by wind turbines and complaints of “unbearable sensations” by residents
In a groundbreaking study at Pacific Hydro’s Cape Bridgewater windfarm in the state of Victoria, Australia’s leading acoustical engineer Steven Cooper found that a unique infrasound pattern, which he had labelled “Wind Turbine Signature” in previous studies, correlates (through a “trend line”) with the occurrence and severity of symptoms of residents who had complained of often-unbearable “sensations”. These include sleep disturbance, headaches, heart racing, pressure in the head, ears or chest, etc. as described by the residents (symptoms generally known as Wind Turbine Syndrome (WTS), or the euphemism “noise annoyance” – ed).

The acoustician also identified “discrete low frequency amplitude modulated signals” emitted by wind turbines, and found the…
