An online tool to estimate the acoustic impact of wind turbines. There are 3 major wind farm planning tools available. None of them have an acoustics component. Wind turbine noise is a major issue for developers and communities looking to install wind farm. This website provides a quick tool for the provide that analysis and print out a report.
