Industrial wind turbine noise varies with the atmosphere and terrain. Often one of the quietest places to stand near a turbine is right underneath it. It’s a little like standing beneath a 400 foot tall speaker. Turbine noise is broadcast outward and is especially troublesome at night when the air near the ground is still and the air at hub height is in motion.
Standing beneath a turbine in the afternoon is the way most people who do not live in wind farms make their judgement about wind turbine noise. They stand there, listen for a minute, take pictures and drive off, go home and tell their friends that wind turbines don’t make noise.

Good morning Miss Pandora,
The best way to NOT hear a wind turbine is to stand under one during those all too frequent periods when they are NOT operating.
PS The birds also love the wind company's 'quiet time.'
"Standing under turbine-no noise"
One of the biggest hoaxes of all time...only believed by greedy residents of a little appalachia
