The difference between the noises you people are showing is that those are temporary noises and do not reverberates through your walls 24/7 everyday. It' like a giant siren runs outside my home every damn day. Did I mention the stupid thing is 400m from my house The motors whine constantly I living under one that is less than 1000watts and it howls like mad.

They make lots of whooshing-noise in stronger wind. IDOT – wind turbines don’t make noise with the wind is that low. They make lots of whooshing-noise in stronger wind.

They get noisy, OK! You want to try sleeping with one of these turbines under your pillow, dammed annoying.

If your goal was to bring support for wind power then putting up biased videos will only undermine your credibility and the credibility of wind power.

For instance the shot of the windmill is from the upwind side, most of the noise that is produced will be heard on the downwind side. Also the audio sounds of the other comparisons sound doctored and even if they weren't the differences in what your camera picks up is not a real scientific measurement of the decibel levels.

They will eventually run out. So we need to come up with some kind of renewable resource to replace the fossil fuels we currently use. @eatmelibs We will HAVE to live without fossil fuels.

The loud sound of a turbine is BEHIND the turbine, will be about 4x the sound in front of it. But, yes, it makes a fair point. Thing is, a quiet rooftop turbine will not bother a homeowner. Have a look at my videos of quiet wind turbines at home. Thing is, the homeowner gets FREE POWER. How much Free Power does a homeowner get from a giant wind farm... None! So, how is that good for a citizen? To be enslaved by yet another source of energy? The video is a bit misleading.

It has to be patched into other powerlines so the power is seemless. When these worthless "low" energy producers aren't working ie: NO WIND, oil/coal/hydro plants kick in.

Nor do they deplete natural resources such as coal, oil, or gas, or cause environmental damage through resource extraction and transportation, or require significant amounts of water during operation. Wind's pollution-free electricity can help reduce the environmental damage caused by power generation in the U.S. and worldwide.

Others because they're ugly & ruin the view (tourists don't like them). Wind turbines emit infra sound. Although they can travel long distances , pass through walls & windows with little attenuation there is no evidence for physiological effects at the levels generated. Loud music listened to with headphones can cause more damage to the ears than a field of wind turbines emitting infra sound 50 to 70 dB & well below the audible threshold.

I agree that nuclear is a far more reliable base load source of power and that new nuclear reactors should be built but wind has proven itself to be a cheap source of energy when the turbines are put in the right places. @ProfessorIgor a subsidized feel good project that delivers electricity at a price point similar to that of coal and less than nuclear.
