- Abstract
The development of wind energy and the increasing number of installed wind turbines make it necessary to assess them in terms of the nuisance of the emitted infrasound noise generated by such devices. The article presents the results of measurements and analyses of infrasound emitted during the operation of wind turbines installed in various locations in Poland. Comparative analysis of noise levels in the infrasound and audible range has shown that acoustic energy is mainly in the low and infrasound frequency range, and the measured levels depend significantly on the weighting curves used. On the basis of the results, it was confirmed that the sound pressure level of infrasound signals emitted by the operation of high-power wind turbines, regardless of wind velocity, weather conditions, design solutions of turbines, operating time, rated capacity, does not exceed the criteria specified in the applicable legislation dealing with the assessment of infrasound noise on the working environment.
