Self-reported and objectively measured health indicators among a sample of Canadians living within the vicinity of industrial wind turbines: Social survey and sound level modelling methodology

Over recent decades there have been some clear achievements in the acknowledgement of the importance of addressing noise in the community. The focus has been on the major noise sources associated with transportation and industry that globally affect the larger number of people. The publication of guidelines for noise level limits and for establishing noise control policies and approaches to noise management provides a good basis for further applications. This paper discusses some of the successes and also some of the remaining challenges in developing and adopting the most appropriate noise management and control policies.
