The Results of an Acoustic Testing Program, Cape Bridgewater Wind Farm
Prepared for Energy Pacific by Steve Cooper, The Acoustic Group
The conclusion of the above testing program can be seen here, in a letter from Dr Paul Schomer and George Hessler, and is a signal to the acousticians and their professional insurers as well as government authorities that the pendulum of scientific evidence and opinions of senior acousticians who also work closely with the wind industry has irrevocably shifted with Steven Cooper's research at Cape Bridgewater.
Dr Paul Schomer's authority internationally in the field of environmental acoustics is undisputed, and both he and Mr Hessler have direct field research experience measuring infrasound and low frequency noise inside homes at the Shirley Wind Farm in the USA.

Good blog for all turbine-related news from Australia and around the world: http://stopthesethings.com/ The blog is well worth visiting regularly, and maybe signing up for their news feed - or bookmarking to return later.
The following links relate to research into harmful bolts of pressure from wind turbines and important evidence from the Cherry Tree case in Victoria, Australia, presented in October 2013 from Sarah Laurie:

Here are some links from the wind watch website (USA)
Their wind farms cover larger areas than UK sites but they argue the same points as UK campaigners.
