Acoustics - Wind farm noise

This document has been re-assessed by the committee, and judged to still be up to date.

Provides suitable methods for the prediction, measurement, and assessment of sound from wind turbines. These methods may be applied during the processes of planning and developing a wind farm, then for confirming compliance with resource consent conditions covering sound levels, and also for the investigation and assessment of noise complaints about operating wind farms.
