In summary, it is important to understand that wind projects are huge undertakings requiring new roads, buildings, transmission lines, meteorological towers with all of their associated guywires; massive excavations, blasting, trucking, soil compaction, gargantuan towers hundreds of feet high with whirling blades nearly 500 feet in diameter, killing all wildlife in their path and providing a shutter effect with sunlight; and noise, unrelenting noise, mostly at night. For some people, the sub-audible vibrations interact with their chest cavity or their skull and inner ears in such a way as to cause nausea, vertigo, and irritability. The impact of the sound is hard to predict and is often projected outward so that directly underneath it may be relatively benign (“termed a noise shadow”), but a few thousand feet away it may be intolerable. The vibrations might interact with a metal roof to cause secondary noise sources, particularly in larger agricultural buildings. This is all very difficult to predict, though the developer will do expensive noise studies to satisfy the permitting board, this is no guarantee that the noise will not impact you or your neighbors, it’s a crap shoot. To the extent that it impacts you as a landowner, the lease offers no recourse – you agreed to it. Neighbors that didn’t sign a secrecy agreement or lease will be irate at all of this and demand that something be done, but your hands will be tied by the lease and NDA that you signed. You guaranteed the wind company “peaceful enjoyment” of your land and they in turn took away your neighbor’s peaceful enjoyment of their homes. It doesn’t have to be this way, please just say no.
