The National Health and Medical Research Council has assessed the common complaints levelled at the wind-powered energy sector, chiefly turbines also generate "infrasound" that can make wind farm neighbours feel ill.

"While the range of effects such as annoyance, anxiety, hearing loss and interference with sleep, speech and learning have been reported anecdotally ... there is no published scientific evidence to positively link wind turbines with adverse health effects," the NHMRC said in a statement yesterday.

Brett Thomas, managing director of Axiona Australia which owns and operates the Waubra wind farm, said there had been claims from opponents of wind farms that noise and other factors associated with wind turbines could impact on people's health.

He said the study should put to rest these claims and make people living around wind farms feel comfortable.

"I hope it puts to bed the claims because they are causing people to be concerned," Mr Thomas said.

A study focused on three UK-based wind farms and the World Health Organisation also takes the view that there is no evidence of a health impact.

The NHMRC assessed the total noise output of a 10-turbine wind farm as 35 to 45 decibels at 350 metres away.

This was about the same level as standing in a "quiet bedroom" and well below the 60 decibels for "noise in a busy office". Background noise in a rural area at night was rated between 20 to 40 decibels.
