The main problem with wind turbines is the noise. There is a long-running court case in Oregon (can't remember the name) over a community driven from their homes by noise from a wind farm. There are similar cases in other countries. It is misleading to focus on decibel level when discussing the nuisance value of wind turbines. Consider the sound of fingernails across a chalkboard (quiet but irritating) compared to a box fan (loud but soothing). Unless the decibel level is high enough to be physically damaging, people easily adjust to white noise such as a box fan or distant traffic. A wind turbine generates a set of harmonics that causes stress regardless of the decibel level.
