I. The nature of noise related symptoms in residents who reside within a certain proximity to wind turbines and wind farms. Over the past several decades, there has been a resurgence in wind power. This technology is a clean renewable energy source that does not contribute to global warming nor does it create any harmful wastes. As communities look to identify safe renewable energy sources many have turned to wind power; inspired by the numerous benefits and perceived benign risks many have attempted
