Tuulivoimateollisuudella on oikeus omaan arvioon tuulivoimamelusta, mutta se ei yksin riitä. Näitä esimerkkejä löytyy jo riittävästi, mitä tapahtuu kun tuulivoimateollisuus pääsee määrittämään arviointikriteerit teollisuudelle edulliseen muotoon, paikallisten asukkaiden ja ympäröivän luonnon tappioksi.
Asioiden kriittinen tarkastelu on parempi kuin eipäs juupas keskustelu tai ettei mitään keskustelua käydä. Tuulivoimala on todella onneton kapistus lähellä olevalle asutukselle ja ympäröivälle luonnolle.
Arviointikriteereitä laadittaessa tulee käyttää vapaan tieteen tuomaa kumuloitunutta tietoutta tuulivoimaloiden melusta, frekvenssimoduloinnista ja amplitudimoduloinnista esim. ”Bullet points for Draft Wind Farm State Code acoustics review • Acoustics problem associated with wind-farms are due to the infrasonic and low frequencies harmonics and their interaction between several turbines. Those generates rumoyances and to higher intensities health effects. • By using both a time average and frequency weighting, by definition, all those harmonics disappear and as such no assessments ofthe impact of those harmonics can be made. • To assess those harmonics, it is necessary to use unfiltered data and no time average. • The low frequencies and infrasound effects cannot be assessed by dBA. By designed, the A filtering process takes away low frequency and infrasound. Low fi·equencies and in:frasound need to be assessed by dBlin which is unfiltered data according to frequency. • Annoyance has not been considered in either guideline • Wind masking has been applied as if it was masking noise of similar frequencies and this is not the case. • The distance of 1500m as a buffer will not be sufficient for the current size of wind turbine. This distance had originated years ago for much smaller size turbines and at the time was probably a correct distance. • The noise criteria proposed in the draft wind farm sate code is most likely not protect residents for their health and well-being and will not protect their environmental values. • It is uncertain and unlikely that the noise criteria proposed in the draft wind farm sate code will protect animals such as farmed animals for their health and well-being from low and infrasonic noise exposure.” http://docs.wind-watch.org/AUS-RTI-15-127-acoustic...
