NZS 6808:2010
Acoustics - Wind farm noise
Provides suitable methods for the prediction, measurement, and assessment of sound from wind turbines. These methods may be applied during the processes of planning and developing a wind farm, then for confirming compliance with resource consent conditions covering sound levels, and also for the investigation and assessment of noise complaints about operating wind farms.
