With reference to your article and letters relating to the noise from the wind turbines at Deeping St Nicholas, I commiserate with Mr and Mrs Davis as we also suffer from intermittent, low frequency hum generated by this wind farm.
Unlike Mr and Mrs Davis, our noise is not airborne but travels through the ground causing vibrations within the house under certain wind conditions.
When the noise is very bad it is akin to a grain dryer but with a pulsating noise, which precludes any idea of sleep.
Unlike Mr and Mrs Davis we do not suffer the noise all the time.
My concerns are that if an additional 16 turbines were to be built, then the noise effect (caused by interaction of the turbines on a Fen type topography) will cause the noise to spread, which at the worst will cause the village to be uninhabitable. At least this will reduce the value of all properties.
With regard to the letter in the Spalding Guardian on Thursday, which was written by residents of Hop Pole, I should like to point out that they live some four miles away from the nearest turbine.
Perhaps the wind farm developers would consider purchasing all the properties and farms within the village (at full market value) and turn the whole Fen into a gigantic wind farm!
