Regretfully I am of the Mind Set “Not in my neighborhood…” I’ve mentioned in the past that my son is a master electrician who travels from one big job to another all over the country… He often works Solar Fields and Wind Farms and we have visited him on the job during and upon the completion of the job…
When we visited the Solar Farms there was plenty of noise pollution from inverters, lots of construction traffic, habitat loss due to leveling the ground and changing all manner of water run off to local streams and rivers… Some natural streams dried up or the runoff changed the chemistry due to the increased drainage from the solar fields… There was also flooding in neighborhoods that never experienced flooding previously…
The sound from a solar field’s inverters…

When we visited him at various Wind Farms we could hear the Large Wind Turbines’ rhythmic “whooshing” or “swishing” sound, as we drove up to the wind farm and it was perceivable even from 1,000 feet away. And there was always mechanical noise (a low-frequency hum) from the generators, gearboxs, and cooling fans housed in the nacelle. These vibrations often produce both audible noise and low-frequency infrasound.
Now, I know that demand is severely outstripping supply and I know something has to be done…
But as my son explains it, the Rhythmic Sounds from Farms will affect your disposition—your inherent mood or emotional state—primarily through entrainment, a process where your internal biological rhythms synchronize with external auditory beats. This synchronization influences everything from your heart rate and hormone levels to your physical sense of stability.
And to end this on an upbeat note, I have a wife for that…
