Wind turbine noise disturbs camp serenity

This is a response to Stephen McAdam’s recent letter. He states that turbines make no noise. Are you sure the wind was blowing the day you were there? Unless you spend more than a few minutes around a wind turbine tower, you have no idea the noise they make. The tower itself doesn’t make a lot of noise. It is the air turbulence caused by the rotating blades that causes the noise.

We own a camp near Lowville and those wind towers have ruined the serenity of the area. I cried the first night we spent at our camp after the turbines were turned on. It was in the spring with all the windows closed. I couldn’t sleep with the constant whump, whump, whump of the towers all night long.
