Click for PDF, with all graphs included by Richard James, Noise Engineer (7/8/14) As the blade passes the tower, the low frequency noise and infrasound is generated at a frequency related to the hub’s rotation and number of blades. These pressure pulsations appear as tones during analysis, but are not heard as tones by most people. […]
