Wind turbines are designed to be quiet but all make a sound when the blades are being driven. There is an amount of noise caused by the generating equipment and there is the noise of air turbulence as it passes the blades.

Do wind turbines make noise?

Yes, wind turbines do make noise as a result of the rotation of the blades and the mechanical operation of the system. The level of noise can vary depending on factors such as the design of the turbine, its distance from inhabited areas, and the speed and direction of the wind. Efforts are made to mitigate noise impacts, such as using sound barriers or siting turbines away from residential areas.


How do wind turbines create energy if there is no wind?

They don't, there are brakes in the nacelle which is a part of the wind turbine. When there is no wind the brakes are on so that the rotors don't turn. In other words TURBINES DON'T MAKE ENERGY WHEN THERE IS NO WIND. They only produce power when the wind is between 14 and 28 mph.


How is wind energy recovered?

Wind energy is recovered through the use of wind turbines. These turbines have blades that spin when the wind blows, turning a generator to produce electricity. This electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other facilities.


Why turbines are placed on the roof of some homes in the tropics?

Turbines on the roofs of homes in the tropics are often used to harness wind energy for power generation. The consistent wind patterns in the tropics make it an ideal location for wind turbines. Placing turbines on rooftops can also help maximize space efficiency and take advantage of higher wind speeds at higher elevations.


What is a windsmith?

A windsmith is a skilled craftsman who creates and manipulates the flow of wind for practical or artistic purposes. They may design wind-driven machines, such as windmills or wind turbines, or create installations that utilize the movement of air to generate sound or visual effects.

What are the white fans that make electricity called?

The white fans that make electricity are called wind turbines. Wind turbines are devices that convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy through the use of rotating blades. When the wind blows, it causes the blades to spin, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity. Wind turbines are commonly used to generate renewable energy from wind power.
