Iowa-based researchers have concluded there’s little scientific evidence that sound from wind turbines poses a public health risk, reports Radio Iowa. Instead, authors say reported symptoms of hearing loss or poor sleep are more likely related to people’s attitudes about wind development. Co-author David Osterberg says reports of symptoms are associated with annoyance at developers rather than the actual sound of the turbines.
