NIMBY!
My Dad lives quite near to some and I've walked up near to them on days with a good breeze, and whilst they do hum I don't think they'll be too audible from 3/4 of a mile. I guess it depends on the size and the direction of the wind though.
What can you do?

"Developers are obliged to carry out noise predictions to evaluate the likely perception of noise from wind turbines on local residents and those working in the vicinity. They compare the predicted noise levels of turbines with the existing background level. The assessment should be able to demonstrate compliance with national noise regulations. Developers generally present their noise predictions as contour maps, with contours joining locations of equal noise leve"

My nickname in the office is "Wind Farm." No one likes sitting near me. Does that help?

Anyone have any experience with living near wind turbines?
There's a five turbine wind farm being proposed for a ridge that is 3/4 of a mile from my house. Some or most of them will be in full view of my back yard.
I've heard that there's a constant kind of hum as well as some people saying that the shadow flicker (the moving shadows cast by the blades) can be very disconcerting.
Anyone have any first or second hand experience with this?(Let it be known that i am usually a proponent of alternative energy sources)
