facts, analysis, exposure of wind energy's real impacts
Noteworthy
It is safe to say the scientific community does not know the exact sound exposure attributes that are causative to the health and welfare concerns of wind turbine sound. Until such time as a better scientific understanding of the cause / effect relationship becomes available, the margin of safety must include an uncertainty of estimation factor when using the A-weighted sound level, the C-weighted sound level, or combinations thereof.
