  You know how we tend to lose hearing on some frequencies as we grow older? It’s the same thing here basically, wind turbines are known to produce low frequency infrasound, which some people (but probably most won’t) hear. It’s doesn’t seem perfectly clear how these sounds affect wild life. From a quick Google search on “wind turbines effects on wild life” I found an abundance of scientific articles touching on this topic

    I guess all the cows in the paddock right next to them were immune?

      I’m not here to win an argument, but not knowing how infrasound from wind turbines affect wild life should be considered valid critique. Noise is not always high volume sounds, it’s disturbing sounds at any frequency regardless if we or cows in a paddock can hear the noise or not
