Abstract
The use of wind turbines for the production of electricity is expanding rapidly throughout the world. Turbine noise is an important environmental issue. The National Wind Technology Center at Golden, near Denver, Colorado uses a PULSE system to measure noise produced by wind turbines and their components. The test data is used in the design and development of wind turbine generating systems and to ensure that the noise produced by a design is within specified levels.
