The University of Ballarat has begun investigating noise levels near Waubra Wind Farm, with residents claiming low frequency turbine sound is affecting their health.

Some say they have experienced headaches, nausea and sleep deprivation since the turbines began operating.

The tests will be done at various locations over the coming month in a bid to find out the exact cause of the noise, where it is coming from and what can be done about it.

University of Ballarat engineering lecturer Graeme Hood said previous monitoring results indicated a high level of infrasound.

"It's like having a truck going past your place constantly, although you can't hear it," Mr Hood said.

"What we've got to do is identify where the sound is coming from."

Three sound monitors will be placed at different locations.

Acciona Energy, which owns Waubra Wind Farm, says it is monitoring post-construction noise to ensure it complies with industry standards.

But Mr Hood said the standards did not take infrasound into account.

He said if the study revealed a problem, the university might do further investigations.

"It needs to be solved and it may only be a simple solution," Mr Hood said.

In a recent report to Pyrenees Shire Council, chief executive officer Steven Cornish said council was aware of residents' concerns.

In a meeting with the Department of Planning and Community Development, council received confirmation Acciona Energy had complied with the noise requirements on its planning permit.

Council also received details on the noise complaint, evaluation and response process approved by Planning Minister Justin Madden, and details on post-construction noise monitoring.

Council has requested assurance from Mr Madden that he will be responsible for administration and enforcement of the wind farm permit.
