Infrasound continues to mystify many readers of this website. That’s a pity, because infrasound is the chief cause of Wind Turbine Syndrome (WTS). If you don’t grasp the nature of infrasound, you’re going to have difficulty grasping WTS.
What we find, in particular, is that many people don’t appreciate how far infrasound can travel. The answer is, “far!” Even, “very far!”
Scroll to the bottom of this page and watch “The Sounds of Silence” by PBS’s Wired Science, explaining the remarkable propagation qualities of infrasound. Pay close attention to the section where geophysicist, Dr. Milton Garces, sets up a small fan in a home—actually, a rotary sub-woofer, in some respects much like a wind turbine—whose oscillating blades produce infrasound. (“It displaces a lot of volume—of air molecules—by shifting the pitch of the blades of the fan,” explains Garces.) Notice how the infrasound—a 1 Hz pressure wave, in this instance—radiates through the walls of the house, and beyond.
Now, ponder those huge (and getting huger) “rotary sub-woofer” wind turbines being built 1500 feet or a mile from your home. Or even several miles.
What turbines do is not only produce infrasound, but extremely strong bursts of infrasound—extremely strong & rapid (many times a second) bursts of pressure. And that, dear reader, is undoubtedly the chief reason why people become ill.

Behold, Wind Turbine Syndrome: extremely strong bursts of infrasonic pressure, radiating very far—through every barrier you can imagine. As far as the vestibular organs of the inner ear are concerned—organs honed by Mother Nature over millions of years to respond to subtle pressure waves, to tell us (a) where we are in space and (b) control our spatial reasoning and cognition, and (c) to pinpoint our split-second sense of balance and motion—this is catastrophic.
Pierpont explains all this in detail in her book, “Wind Turbine Syndrome,” wherein she notes that you, dear reader, are the guinea pig in (what’s called in biology) a “natural experiment” being conducted by Big Wind. (Read, “Your Guide to Wind Turbine Syndrome: A roadmap to this complicated subject.”)
My advice? Forget about suing the bastards, and forget about trying to present scientific proof to your town board (or any other government agency). Your board is likely composed of knaves who were compromised at least a year ago by the wind developers (with turbine leases). Instead, get mad. Stay mad. Make history. After 8 years of running this website and reporting ad nauseum on this outrage, I say it’s time for civil disobedience. Almost ludicrously and certainly tragically, it’s the only recourse offering any realistic hope of accomplishing something significant at this point in the Great Wind Energy Circus.

I recently read an article that the UK is prohibiting an industrial wind project proposed near a government seismographic security center that monitors nuclear explosions around the world.
They have determined that wind turbines produce too much sound vibration and would render the facility useless.
Good morning JLL.
Did you read this? It was in the Guelph paper.
GUELPH - The Ontario Federation of Agriculture is calling on the province to suspend further development of wind farms.
President Mark Wales says escalating concerns about industrial wind turbines have prompted the group to make the recommendation.
Wales says farm families and rural residents must be assured that their interests are adequately protected in the development of wind farms.
The federation says it supports the intentions of the Green Energy Act, but notes wind power has been shown to be inefficient.
Thanks 5:13
I used the article in a post.
Protests against industrial wind in Canada are frequent.
The Canadian farm community is very active with those protests and are responsible for organizing many of them.
