This guideline is for environmental auditors to use. It will help when verifying and reviewing noise assessments for wind energy facilities.  

It can also help to understand how noise from wind turbines should be managed and controlled. This may be of interest to:  

• wind energy facility operators  
• planning authorities
• consultants  
• communities.

This guideline will help environmental auditors independently review or verify WEF operator reporting to help keep wind turbine noise within legal limits. That means:  

• a quieter environment  
• less health impacts.  

This guideline is to be used in conjunction with Wind Energy Facility Turbine Noise - Technical Guideline (Publication 3011).
