TL;DR: A dose-response relationship between calculated A-weighted sound pressure levels and reported perception and annoyance was found and it is demonstrated that people who benefit economically from wind turbines have a significantly decreased risk of annoyance, despite exposure to similar sound levels.

TL;DR: Results do not support an association between exposure to WTN up to 46 dBA and the evaluated health-related endpoints and beyond annoyance, results do notsupport an association among participants aged 18-79 years between WTN levels and these endpoints.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored if road traffic sound could mask wind turbine sound or increase annoyance due to wind turbine noise, and found that road traffic sounds did not increase annoyance with wind turbine noises.

TL;DR: The analysis suggests that communities are between 11 and 26 dB less tolerant ofWTN than of other transportation noise sources, and the role of community tolerance level as a complement and/or an alternative to multiple regression in predicting the prevalence of WTN annoyance is provided.

TL;DR: Self-reported and objectively measured sleep outcomes consistently revealed no apparent pattern or statistically significant relationship to WTN levels, and sleep was significantly influenced by other factors, including sleep medication, other health conditions, caffeine consumption, and annoyance with blinking lights on wind turbines.
