This section provides useful information for acousticians and noise pollution regulators. Some is recent, some historical and there is a focus on the effects of wind turbine noise and some other sources of environmental noise on health, particularly in quiet rural environments.
If you’d like to hear the resident’s stories first hand, please watch the Resident Impact Videos. There is other useful material in our Resources section.
