How loud are the turbines?
A – Modern wind turbines are very quiet. The noise produced by a wind turbine is a combination of the “swoosh” of the blades flying through the air and the hum from the gearbox and generator. The overall noise level has been compared to that of a modern refrigerator. When standing near a modern wind turbine, the background noise of the wind rushing past your ears will usually drown out any noise from the wind turbine.
