IT is amazing they have these all across Northern Germany (I think other Northern Wuropean countries and I never heard bitching about sleep problems from phantom low noise no one can consciously hear. The real issue here is they find them ugly but can't use this argument because it would be un-pc to knock environmental helpful things.

It reminds me of the power line cancer (or every other health ailment) debate decades ago. You know the one where people near high voltage overhead lines said they caused everything form cancer to their kids low grades but ignored the fact guys working right in the high voltage power generation stations and on these lines 50 hours a week for their whole lives did not have a higher incidence of health problems than the average public.

No, the issue there was that they found overhead lines ugly.

Oh, there are complaints. Plenty. And you damn well hear them and it is VERY annoying. That's why they build them 50 kms off the coast in the North Sea now.

Wind power is environmentally sound and help get us off the use of fossil fuels, get used to it.

I'll bet that an electric bicycle using wind power leaves a smaller enviremental foot print that a human powered bicycle. :)

Weird. Because I stood almost under the big turbine down on Toronto's waterfront, and I could barely hear the thing. It was like a really, really soft sound.

wind mills kill bats, bats eat insects, insects eat humans...the smoke from my coal powered steam engine keeps the insects away.
