Résumé

L’infrason est discuté en termes de ce qu’il est réellement, son traitement dans les médias et par ceux avec des connaissances limitée à son sujet. La perception de l’infrason est qu’il existe à des niveaux plus hauts que ceux produits par des éoliennes, mais il y a maintenant accord parmi les acousticiens que l’infrason des éoliennes n’est pas un problème. Des rapports sur l’infrason par des protestataires sont considérés et on montre comment ceux-ci ont pu causer de la détresse évitable aux résidants près des éoliennes et également divertir l’attention de la source principale de bruit: le son répétitif de l’interaction des lames avec la tour. C’est ce bruit qui exige de l’attention, pour le réduire et pour développer des méthodes optimales d’évaluation.
