Wind farms - noise polluters

This is from more than a month ago (okay, I get behind sometimes), but it seems that wind farms put out some serious noise. I had heard something about this before, but this quote really struck me
One of the myths put out by the industry is that a wind farm sounds like a stream from 50 yards. We've got a stream running through our garden and if you stand by it, you can hear the whooshing of the turbines above the water. I've lived the same distance from the M3 and that didn't bother me anything like as much as the wind farm.
Of course, environmentalists don't care because you shouldn't be living in the countryside anyway.
