Journal ArticleDOI

Exposure to wind turbine noise: Perceptual responses and reported health effects.

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.

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.

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.

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.
