Wind Turbine Noise – Not!
This is a wind turbine in Swaffham, England. It's quiet! Let's not let the wind-nimbys get in the way of this perfectly good technology.

- anyone know an easy design for an electricity generator i can make for my wind turbine?
stop complaining wind turbines are the best there not noisey there green, and because of people moaning and putting up stupid signs my dad lost his job for vestas!!! i hate nimbys
Precisely! Put a small wind turbine on an electric car. As you dirve, you generate probably more than the electricity needed to get where you are going. Somebody out there has to be smart enough to figure a way to make that dream a reality. Trust me, if it aint you, it’ll be me
Global warming or no global warming, wind energy is still the best! I can’t say I am liberal in any way, but I do like renewable energy. I am hesitant to admit that, yes, the general extreme liberal perspective tends to be as Doug describes it. However, the renewable energy issue lies on facts
What’s your point? To me, that’s not a good scenario. The oil will run out and before it runds out, as it gets scarce, it’ll get hugely more expensive.
We need alternatives. Wind however, is not an alternative to oil – unless we have electric cars
each turbine like this one provides electricity for around 1000 homes.
Oh, I forgot to add…someone who has already been brainwashed by the politically correct Liberal leadership is probably beyond saving. Your mind is already made up. Your Liberal blinders are in place to not see any other facts associated with the “Man Caused” Global Warming SCAM. I know that. You know that. Liberals live in La La Land and are the true looneys in society. Liberals base all decisions on “feelings,” and not the facts of reality.
Just Google ‘Global Warming disbelieving scientists.’ Read something other than that crap Al Gore tells you.
What?!
You’re living in La La land
You’re a loony.
There are not 30,000 scientists saying that. Show me and other You Tube users where you got that figure from. I’ll tell you where you got it from shall I? You made it up, just like all wind nimbys make stuff up.
I shall waste no more time on you.
Yes, approximately 2,000 politically correct scientists say it’s man caused, and approximately 30,000 scientists say it isn’t. The 30,000 are never mentioned because it doesn’t fit the political agenda. It was much hotter in the mid-1930’s than now, but then Al Gore wasn’t around to manipulate the “climate change” into something it isn’t.
1. You are incorrect. We’ve had the warmest 10 years for a century since 1997. Go look at the figures.
2. man made climate change is a reality – again, go and look at the science. Scientists are all saying the same thing – its man made.
Climate change? Is that where you’re coming from? The earth has cooled 1 1/2 F during the last 10 years. Unless someone knows how to decrease the heat of the sun, all the talk about climate change is for nothing. As for Al Gore and his Man Caused Global Warming, he’s producing much of it himself with his hot air. Man Caused Global Warming is a SCAM designed to scare, control, and make money. At any rate, the Earth is now in a cooling phase.
I’m standing next to a similar turbine you desciribe in my ‘wind power problem ?’ video.
…which is why we need an eneregy mix, wind, wave, solar and biomass.
In terms of cost, economists widely recognise that doing nothing about climate change will create economic catastrophe. We need to spend a little on solutions.
The person recording should try standing next to a larger turbine with the 100 feet long blades (each). The one in this recording appears to be half that size.
All wind turbines in any condition and of any size aren’t disturbingly noisy all the time from anywhere around them in any weather conditions. I wouldn’t complain about this noise either. I would complain if I had to pay for the full cost of the electricity these things produce and live in the dark without me tele whenever it isn’t windy.
current oil reserves, including predicted oil findings, assuming we consume oil at the same rate as today will last till 2039!!!!!!
IN YOUR LIFETIME!!!!

So how much are these? When I do see them, why aren’t there a lot around? Do they generate a lot of energy and no need for a bunch in one place or are they really expensive? Your the tech, so I’m gonna ask.
Hi Windpowerrocks and friends, check out my videos, and please rate them! They’re positioned to challenge the anti turbine NIMBY garbage merchants, and therefore, perhaps not surprisingly, they’re picking up dishonest 1 star ratings from the NIMBY’s (since when have the NIMBYs been honest??!) -Together we’ll kick this ‘wind turbine syndrome’ nonsense in to the bush!
Only an imbecile (spelt correctly, unlike yours) thinks that oil will last for ever. It’s funny how those who oppose wind power are always so rude. I wonder why?
Only an imbecille believes that moronic notion that oil is going to “dry up” anytime soon . . . but you’re out there!
Ignorance is bliss (I suppose).
Im a wind turbine tech so i know how hard it is to get these morons that are jellous of the money there neighbors are getting off the turbines that they have no harmfull effects. I think the people that grip should go without electricity when oil dries up.
That’s right… and they’re being replaced. One modern turbine can replace ten of the type you’re talking about. So we get fewer taller turbines. Sounds good to me.
WPR
well this is a modern windmill, so it nearly has no noise. but windmills from the ’80’s and ’90’s have much more sound.
I appreciate your effort to document the noise level, but honestly since you were talking through most of the video I couldn’t hear the ’swoosh’ you described. You could have added about 15 more seconds with no talking.
Well, we’re having great fun over here in the UK blowing apart these wind-nimby myths. Why not try a little campaigning against the nonsense yourself? A little research will soon show what rubbish nimbys talk. The nonsense needs to be countered! Nimbys are always self-interested, whether its house price, their view, having a financial stake in dirty, dangerous nuclear power etc. They’ve no interest in climate change. Gather your friends and form a pro-wind group
and expose the liars!
