There is no evidence to show that people are physically affected by low-frequency sound like that emitted by wind turbines, acoustic experts have told a Senate inquiry.

Members of the Association of Australian Acoustic Consultants (AAAC) told an inquiry into wind turbines on Wednesday that several studies have found no perceivable physical reaction to so-called infrasound. …

AAAC member Renzo Tonin said acoustic experts were pushing for new research via the National Health and Medical Research Council to see if there were long-term effects of infrasound.
