Hydroelectric power is generally made by water falling through a distance (waterfall, or dam) then striking the blades of a turbine and making them rotate to generate electricity. None of these operations is noisy. Hydroelectric power plants are generally constructed in isolation where any noise is not a problem or where the noise (waterfall) was present naturally and the diversion of the water to the plant would only lessen the natural noise levels.

What uses Hydroelectric power?
Hydroelectric power plants. They have dams and generators. Water flows through a dam, which spins generators that produce hydroelectric electricity. (Fun Fact: The Hoover Dam is the biggest hydroelectric power plant.)
How is hydroelectric power is useful to us?
Hydroelectric power is a great way to keep our environment clean. Unlike gasoline, hydroelectric power combusts to form water as a byproduct which does not harm earth.
What are not examples of hydroelectric power?
coaled power, gas powered, wind turbines, nuclear energy, i believe are not examples of hydroelectric power
How do you use hydroelectric energy in a sentence?
The power to run early grain mills came from hydroelectric energy provided through water wheels.
A hydroelectric power plant changes the energy of moving water into?
crackheads
Which type of alternative energy source has the potential for visual and noise pollution?
Wind power. Geothermal energy may create a strange odor, but not much concern has been voiced about the visual and noise factor. The dams used for hydroelectric power are generally not loud and are frequently used as a recreation area. Tidal power and ocean waves do not create visual and noise pollution. This leaves the correct choice, wind power.
What are the adantages of hydroelectric power?
Once the dam is built and the power plant installed, there are no fuel costs and no pollution
What type of pollution is created from obtaining energy from wind power?
There is no air, land or water pollution from wind power. Wind turbines in use have a noise which some people call noise pollution.
Does hydroelectric power cause erosion?
Yes
Why is using the hydroelectric power station Eco friendly?
they are eco friendly because no pollution is caused by them .
Do electric trains cause pollution?
The trains themselves do not cause pollution, but the source of the power such as a coal burning power plant does.
Does hydro-power cause pollution?
no
Why are hydroelectric power and wind power called clean energy?
Because neither burns fossil fuel to create energy, and neither causes pollution.
Does geothermal power cause pollution?
NO!!! It doesn't!!
How was hydroelectric power made?
Hydroelectric power is made from water.
What are the problems of nuclear power?
It can cause pollution to the planet .
What are two issues that led to public interest in rivers?
Flood Control, Hydroelectric Power Generation
