Wind turbines represent an encouraging option for sustainable energy but their noise
emissions can be an issue for their public acceptance. Noise reduction measures, such as …

Laboratory listening tests are a fundamental part of identifying and quantifying human
perceptual responses to noise, including wind farm noise (WFN); a low-frequency …

This research investigated the perceptual interaction of combining sound with 3D landscape
visualizations. Images sourced from Google Earth at St. James's Park, London, UK, showing …

Current literature suggests that wind turbine noise is more annoying than transportation
noise. To date, however, it is not known which acoustic characteristics of wind turbines …

Residents living in the vicinity of airports are exposed to noise from departing and
approaching aircraft. Noise may be reduced by introducing novel aircraft technologies into …

Noise annoyance reactions in the population due to wind farms are related to visual as well
as noise-related impacts of the farms. Improved understanding of these effects may support …

Growing numbers of the population are exposed to wind turbine (WT) and other broadband
sound sources from the environment. Acoustically optimizing emissions of environmental …

While the technique of auralization has been in use for quite some time in architectural
acoustics, the application to environmental noise has been discovered only recently. With …

Public landscape impact assessment of renewable energy installations is crucial for their
acceptance. Thus, a sound assessment basis is crucial in the implementation process. For …

Amplitude modulation exists in many environmental noise types. A penalty has been
suggested for legal noise assessment to such sounds, but the scientific evidence is limited …
