Abstract
All over the world, the need for energy is increasing, and the methods of obtaining it are harmful to the environment. Traditional energy resources are rapidly depleting. During the extraction and burning of fossil fuels, many different pollutants enter the environment. One of the renewable forms of energy is wind energy. Wind energy is mainly used to generate electricity in wind farms. Wind turbines are a unique source of noise because they are installed at a high height above the ground, and the noise emitted is fluctuating and manifests itself in a wide frequency range. Noise from wind turbines as low as 32 dB(A) is a strong nervous system irritant for some people, while noise of 40 dB(A) and above causes severe discomfort for many people [1]. Detailed noise modeling was carried out in the considered area, assessing how noise affects individual dwellings, noise in the living environment of residential buildings were modeled. The noise level without background noise sources of the nearest residential environment was determined by modeling at 31.9 dB(A) during the night, while the limit value for the protection of human health according to HN 33:2011 is 45 dB(A).
