Perceived Noise Impact of Transitioning Towards Larger Wind Turbines Using Auralisations #NLD

The human perception of two wind turbines of different sizes, a small NTK turbine and a larger NREL model, was evaluated through their synthetically auralised sound. A wide range of wind speed conditions and observer locations was considered. The simulated sounds were analyzed using equivalent sound pressure levels and psychoacoustic sound quality metrics. Moreover, listening experiments were conducted to evaluate the human response to the same sounds. The least-squares models fitted to the results provided scaling laws for the different . . .
