True. I wasn't suggesting 106dbA SPL at the neighbours - it'd take a 747
to achieve that @1km. The acoustic power of the proposed turbines for
Bald Hills (at high wind speed) would be between that of a helicopter and
a chain saw according to the Wikipedia examples. This is far from the
"almost completely silent" Evan suggested. The modelled SPLs at the
neighbouring properties aren't large - the sites are 700-1300m away -
but could still annoy humans at the closer sites, depending on the
character of the noise. I doubt its much of a problem for birds but
its very hard to be sure.
