These installations have sometimes been dogged by complaints from neighbours on a range of topics from ascetics to noise.
It comes as a surprise to this observer to note a requirement for the operation of the turbine to produce no more than 40dB of noise at the boundary of any nearby dwelling built at the date of the consent. (no actual acoustic quality of the noise is mentioned in the article here, just the level)
Noise levels set at the boundary? Great Idea.
40dB (perhaps dBA L10?). Seems very reasonable.
Why has it not happened with frost fans?
Rural residents endure noise levels that exceed 65dBA L10 from cumulative and isolated frost fan emplacements while absentee owners live far removed from the problem.
Good one MDC. You know what side your bread is buttered on.
