Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to wind turbine noise: Perceptual responses and reported health effects.
David S. Michaud,Katya Feder,Stephen E. Keith,Sonia A. Voicescu,Leonora Marro,John Than,Mireille Guay,Allison Denning,D'Arcy McGuire,Tara Bower,Eric Lavigne,Brian J. Murray,Shelly K. Weiss,Frits van den Berg +13 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personal and situational variables associated with wind turbine noise annoyance.
David S. Michaud,Stephen E. Keith,Katya Feder,Sonia A. Voicescu,Leonora Marro,John Than,Mireille Guay,Tara Bower,Allison Denning,Eric Lavigne,Chantal Whelan,S.A. Janssen,Tony Leroux,Frits van den Berg +13 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Wind Turbine Noise on Self-Reported and Objective Measures of Sleep.
David S. Michaud,Katya Feder,Stephen E. Keith,Sonia A. Voicescu,Leonora Marro,John Than,Mireille Guay,Allison Denning,Brian J. Murray,Shelly K. Weiss,Paul J. Villeneuve,Frits van den Berg,Tara Bower +12 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
An assessment of quality of life using the WHOQOL-BREF among participants living in the vicinity of wind turbines.
Katya Feder,David S. Michaud,Stephen E. Keith,Sonia A. Voicescu,Leonora Marro,John Than,Mireille Guay,Allison Denning,Tara Bower,Eric Lavigne,Chantal Whelan,Frits van den Berg +11 more
TL;DR: Results do not support an association between exposure to WTN up to 46 dBA and QOL assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, and variables significantly related to one or more domains, included sex, age, marital status, employment, education, income, alcohol consumption, smoking status, chronic diseases and sleep disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-reported and measured stress related responses associated with exposure to wind turbine noise.
David S. Michaud,Katya Feder,Stephen E. Keith,Sonia A. Voicescu,Leonora Marro,John Than,Mireille Guay,Allison Denning,Tara Bower,Paul J. Villeneuve,Evan Russell,Gideon Koren,Frits van den Berg +12 more
TL;DR: The findings do not support an association between exposure to WTN up to 46 dBA and elevated self-reported and objectively defined measures of stress.
