Health Effects Related to Wind Turbine Sound, Including Low-Frequency Sound and Infrasound
TLDR
In this paper, a narrative review of observational and experimental studies was conducted to assess the association between exposure to wind turbine sound and its components and health effects in the general population, concluding that wind turbines lead to a higher percentage of highly annoyed when compared to other sound sources.Citations

Out of sight of wind turbines-Reindeer response to wind farms in operation.
TL;DR: The continuous running of the wind turbines making a sound both day and night seemed to have disturbed the reindeer more than the sudden sounds and increased human activity during construction work.

Recent Advances in Wind Turbine Noise Research
Colin H. Hansen,Kristy Hansen +1 more
TL;DR: A review of recent and current wind farm noise research work and the research questions that remain to be addressed or are in the process of being addressed can be found in this paper, with a focus on large-scale, horizontal-axis upwind turbines.

TL;DR: Among community members not receiving personal benefits from wind projects, the Community Tolerance Level of wind turbine noise for the U.S. aligns with the international average, further supporting observations that communities are less tolerant of wind turbines than other common environmental noise sources at equivalent A-weighted sound levels.

TL;DR: Amplitude-modulated continuous WTN may impact on self-assessed and some aspects of physiologic sleep, and individuals living close to wind turbines had worse self-reported sleep in both the Control and WTN nights than the reference group.

Variables associated with wind turbine noise annoyance and sleep disturbance
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted to determine how acoustic and various non-acoustic variables are associated with wind turbine noise (WTN) annoyance indoors, WTN annoyance outdoors, and sleep disturbance due to WTN.

Annoyance from transportation noise: Relationships with exposure metrics DNL and DENL and their confidence intervals
TL;DR: Better estimates of the confidence intervals due to the improved model of the relationship between annoyance and noise exposure are provided, which is easier to use for practical calculations than the model itself.

Community perspectives of wind energy in Australia: The application of a justice and community fairness framework to increase social acceptance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored community perceptions of a community consultation process using procedural justice principles to evaluate fairness and found that perceptions of fairness do influence how people perceive the legitimacy of the outcome.

Community renewable energy: What should it mean?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the way in which community has become attached to renewable energy projects in the UK, both in grassroot action and in mainstream energy policy, and identify a diversity of understandings and interpretations that revolve around questions of both process and outcome.
