Wind Turbine Noise and the Brain — Copenhagen seminar
(Copenhagen)
Ken Mattsson is professor in scientific computing at Uppsala University. Mattsson has together with Gustav Eriksson developed SoundSim360 that is based on more than 25 years of research. The infrasound measurements are performed by José Chilo, Kourosh Tartar and Leif Persson. This is the recording of his lecture "Separating Myth from Fact on Wind Turbine Noise" in Copenhagen 8 October 2025.
The second lecture from this seminar, “Infrasound Affects the Brain”, is given by Dr. Håkan Enbom, M.D., Ph.., E.N.T. specialist, otoneurologist, Ängelhoms. [It is delivered in Swedish, but the slides are in English. You can set Youtube to generate subtitles by clicking Settings, Subtitles/CC, Auto-translate, and selecting your desired language.]

Wind turbines emit infrasound and it is spread at least 10 km in levels proven to be affecting humans. This is ignored by agencies and the industry. Sound power levels stated by manufacturers are one of the biggest lies since it is not a constant and can vary by more than 20 dB higher during a day. The atmosphere is important for the propagation of the sound.
Traffic noise causes cardiovascular disease and big loss in productivity, but no one is talking about noise from wind turbines.
Simple methods like Nord2000 or the even simpler method that agencies in Denmark use are not working. They are underestimating the sound and you can change the parameters to get the result you want.
Sound, including infrasound, from wind turbines is very disturbing because it is pulsating.
The A-weighted scale dB is misused since it isn’t suitable for describing infrasound and low-frequency sound.
A suggested safe distance to wind turbines is probably 5-10 km according to professor Ken Mattsson.
Ken Mattsson er professor i beregningsvidenskab.
Mattsson har sammen med Gustav Eriksson udviklet SoundSim360, der er baseret på mere end 25 års forskning. Målingerne af infralyd blev udført af José Chilo, Kourosh Tartar og Leif Persson. Her ser du optagelsen af hans forelæsning "Separating Myth from Fact on Wind Turbine Noise", som han gav i København d. 8. oktober 2025.
Den anden forelæsning "Infrasound Affects the Brain" blev givet af speciallæge, otoneurolog, Ph.D Håkan Enbom. Den er også tilgængelig på Landsforeningen Naboer til Kæmpevindmøllers YouTube-kanal.
Vindmøller udsender infralyd som spredes mindst 10 km i niveauer, der beviseligt påvirker mennesker. Dette ignoreres af myndigheder og vindmølleindustrien.
De lydstyrkeniveauer som producenterne angiver er en af de største løgne eftersom lydstyrken ikke er en konstant og den kan variere med mindst 20 dB mere end opgivet på en dag. Atmosfæren spiller en stor rolle for udbredelsen af lyden.
Trafikstøj forårsager hjertekarlidelser og store tab i produktivitet, men ingen snakker om lyd fra vindmøller - det forties.
Simple metoder som Nord2000 eller den endnu simplere metode som der bruges i Danmark virker ikke. De underestimerer lyden og du kan ændre parametrene, så du får det resultat, du ønsker.
Lyd, inklusive infralyd fra vindmøller er meget generende på grund af, at den er pulserende.
Den A-vægtede skala dBA misbruges og er uegnet til at beskrive infralyd og lavfrekvent lyd.
Sikkerhedsafstanden til moderne vindmøller skal formentlig være 5-10 km i følge professor Ken Mattsson.
