Wind Turbine Noise Simulator
This report investigates the noisesources for modern three-bladed windturbines along with the pertinent parameters in outdoor sound propagationto create an auralisation of a wind turbine. Focus has been on the effectof the different propagation parametersand sound models of a wind turbine,which is reflected in the opportunity toswitch between or adjust these parameters in the simulation.In the implementation, this is carriedout by various audio effects and filters,such as the chorus effect and variable filters. The simulator allows for comparison with real wind turbine recordings,which have been made as a part of theproject.From the results and informal listeningobservations, it is found that the simulator provides a believable sound of awind turbine. However, further workcould improve the sound experience byusing models of higher complexity suchas modelling turbulent wind conditionsgiving the sound a more natural, imperfect characteristic.
