Noise from wind turbines can potentially affect the health of surrounding ecosystems and the human population. However, the potential adverse effects of wind turbine noise are often mitigated by proper planning, including setbacks from residential areas, strategic wind farm placement, and noise reduction technologies. Hence, research is needed to understand the specific effects of wind turbine noise on ecosystems and human populations and develop appropriate mitigation strategies.
