Wind Turbine Noise: What Audiologist Should Know
Jerry Punch, Richard James, and Dan Pabst
Audiology Today, JulAug2010
"Noise from modern wind turbines is not known to cause hearing loss, but the low-frequency noise and vibration emitted by wind turbines may have adverse health effects on humans and may become an important community noise concern."

Noise Impact Assessment Report: Waubra Wind Farm
Rev 1 - July 2010
A report by Noise Measurement Services Pty Ltd.
"It is concluded, from the information presented, that Mr. Dean has been and is currently adversely affected by the presence and activity of the Waubra wind farm. The effects stated by Mr. Dean as affecting his health and statutory declarations from his family and residents in the vicinity of the wind farm attest to adverse health effects."

Wind Turbine Syndrome: A Report on A Natural Experiment
Nina Pierpont
December 2009
"The core of the book is a scientific report presenting original, primary research on symptomatic people living near large industrial wind turbines (1.5-3 MW) erected since 2004."
Acoustic Ecology Institute Fact Sheet: Wind Energy Noise Impacts
"This AEI Fact Sheet is not intended to over-emphasize noise complaints, but rather to provideinformation that can foster informed conversation about any specific wind farm proposal. As you'llread below, it appears that noise can be a significant issue in at least some situations when turbines are within about a half mile of homes, with impacts occasionally occurring up to a mile away."
