Understanding stress effects of wind turbine noise – The integrated approach
TLDR
In this paper, the authors combined the methodology of stress psychology with noise measurement to an integrated approach to better understand causes and effects of wind turbine (WT) noise, and found that more residents complained about physical and psychological symptoms due to traffic noise (16%) than to WT noise (10%, two years later 7%).About:

Attitudes of U.S. Wind Turbine Neighbors: Analysis of a Nationwide Survey
Ben Hoen,Jeremy Firestone,Joseph Rand,Debi Elliot,Gundula Hübner,Gundula Hübner,Johannes Pohl,Johannes Pohl,Ryan Wiser,Eric Lantz,Ryan Haac,Kenneth Kaliski +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of 1705 existing U.S. wind project neighbors provides previously unavailable detail about factors influencing the attitudes of these neighbors toward their local wind projects, finding that hearing wind turbines leads to less positive attitudes, although living very near to turbines does not, nor does seeing wind turbines.

Monitoring annoyance and stress effects of wind turbines on nearby residents: A comparison of U.S. and European samples.
Gundula Hübner,Johannes Pohl,Johannes Pohl,Ben Hoen,Jeremy Firestone,Joseph Rand,Debi Elliott,Ryan Haac +7 more
TL;DR: Noise annoyance stress (NAS-Scale) was negatively correlated with the perceptions of a lack of fairness of the wind project's planning and development process, among other subjective variables, and Objective indicators were not found to be correlated to noise annoyance.

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.

Wind turbine audibility and noise annoyance in a national U.S. survey: Individual perception and influencing factors
T. Ryan Haac,Kenneth Kaliski,Matthew Landis,Ben Hoen,Joseph Rand,Jeremy Firestone,Debi Elliott,Gundula Hübner,Johannes Pohl +8 more
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.

Low-Frequency Noise and Its Main Effects on Human Health—A Review of the Literature between 2016 and 2019
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the presently available knowledge about the association between low-frequency noise and its effects on health and constructed a database with a total of 142 articles published between 2016 and 2019 regarding lowfrequency noise exposure and its effect on health.

TL;DR: This description of the processing of sound by the human hearing system presents the quantitative relationship between sound stimuli and auditory perceptions in terms of hearing sensations, and implements these relationships in model form.

Noise pollution: non-auditory effects on health
Stephen Stansfeld,Mark Matheson +1 more
TL;DR: In children, chronic aircraft noise exposure impairs reading comprehension and long-term memory and may be associated with raised blood pressure, and further research is needed examining coping strategies and the possible health consequences of adaptation to noise.

Exposure-response relationships for transportation noise
Henk M. E. Miedema,H. Vos +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented synthesis curves for the relationship between DNL and percentage highly annoyed for three transportation noise sources, including aircraft, road traffic, and railway noise, based on all 21 datasets examined by Schultz and Fidell et al. and augmented with 34 datasets.

TL;DR: The ICBEN Community Response to Noise (CRO2N) survey as discussed by the authors was the first attempt to measure community response to noise in nine languages for which a standardized empirical study protocol has been followed to select annoyance scale words.

Perception and annoyance due to wind turbine noise : a dose–response relationship
TL;DR: The respondents' attitude to the visual impact of wind turbines on the landscape scenery was found to influence noise annoyance, showing higher proportion of people reporting perception and annoyance than expected from the present dose-response relationships for transportation noise.
