In research conducted in 2006 focusing on the impact of sound emissions from wind turbines on the nearby population, perceived infrasound has been associated to effects such as annoyance or fatigue, depending on its intensity, with little evidence supporting physiological effects of infrasound below the human perception threshold.

The 111 megawatt wind farm spreads across five acres of land and cost about $350 million, it began construction in November, 2008 and has been operational since October 2010. For about two months in 2013, the site was monitored by the Environmental Protection Authority. The wind farm's infrasound and low-frequency noise were both examined. [2]
Infrasound sensitive fibers are found to be simple bipolar cells in the auditory ganglion with a diameter of 1.6-2.2 μm at the axon and 0.9-1.2 μm at the dendrites. [19] They originate in the apical end of the cochlea and they are located near fibers that transmit low frequency sounds in the acoustic range.
Microbaroms are a form of persistent low-level atmospheric infrasound, [22] generally between 0.1 and 0.5 Hz, that may be detected as coherent energy bursts or as a continuous oscillation. [11] When the plane wave arrivals from a microbarom source are analyzed from a phased array of closely spaced microbarographs, the source azimuth is found to ...
Wind turbine syndrome and wind farm syndrome are terms for the alleged medical condition related to the proximity of wind turbines. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Proponents claim that these effects include congenital abnormality , cancer , vertigo , nausea , autism , ADHD , death , tinnitus , stress , fatigue , memory loss, migraines and sleep deprivation , [ 3 ...
The ground acts as a reflecting service for incoming energy and molecular attenuation is zero at infrasonic frequencies. [ 4 ] The infrasonic sensing array contained a minimum variance distortion-less response beam former to enhance the detection and estimation performance of the acoustic system by improving the signal to noise ratio.

A wind farm or wind park, or wind power plant, [1] is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electricity. Wind farms vary in size from a small number of turbines to several hundred wind turbines covering an extensive area.
