Turbine Noise Log March 29, 2012
5:10 AM (alarm set for 6:00 AM). Because of the turbine noise and low frequency noise I do not need the alarm at home. Sleep was mixed last night. I was only woke up 3 or 4 times by the turbines vs. a typical night of 7 or 8 wake ups. I find it interesting that a woman at Clintonville, WI used the term sleep deprivation because she was woke up several nights by loud sounds that were later...

8:50 PM. Wind SW, 10.8 rpms. The noise is not real loud yet is very audible sounding.
Neither my wife nor I slept very well last night. She was up several times. The turbines were turning fairly slow, but that does not matter. If they are turning they have a impact on sleep and health.

7:10 AM. (in Missouri) It was a wonderful night of sleep in a Super 8 motel. I had many dreams. I dreamt about my drive here seeing the purple budding trees and rehearsing how I am going to load the trailer. I had other dreams involving lots of people. I woke one time when there was a loud commotion in the hallway. I feel restedJ

5:05 AM. Last night was filled with sleep deprivation. I went to bed hearing the turbines thumping and pounding and woke up hearing the turbines thumping and pounding. I was woke at 1:03, 2:37, 3:17, and 5:05. Those are the wake ups that I wrote down. I wanted desperately to sleep so I did not look at the clock or write down the many other times I was rudely woke up by the turbines. I wanted to...

6:10 AM. I spent the night in Beloit. This is my third time at this house and bed. I woke only one time over night. I had great dreams. They were very active and colorful. I feel rested. I sleep well any place, but at home where our house is surrounded by 400’ tall wind turbines.

6:15 AM. Wind W, 17.9 rpms. Jet noise. I lost 8 pounds while away the past 5 nights. I have noticed in the past that on nights I get restful sleep I lose weight and that when there are nights of sleep deprivation I gain weight. There are many more details to this, however thisis the result.

(at cabin) 5:00 AM. Wind calm. I slept and dreamt great again last night.
10:30 AM. Wind calm. I just finished collecting sap. There is no noise other than the yelping of sand hill cranes, robins chirping, the pounding beaks of wood peckers, the cooing of morning doves and the soft sounds of other song birds. At home those beautiful sounds are both driven away from or covered up by the wind...

4:30 AM. (at cabin) I am up early to begin the day cooking sap. I woke up one time over night due to a cramp in my leg. I do a lot of standing and walking while mapling. I again had a number of dreams that were beautiful, colorful and enjoyable.
5:45 PM. It is so calm and peaceful here at the cabin. I imagine it was that way at home before Invenergy and the PSC of Wisconsin forcibly took that...

6:30 AM. WOW! It was another great night of sleep at the cabin. I had great dreams lastnight. In some of them I was having conversations with people. My dreams have been taken, forcefully taken, from me at home.
Even if the turbines are shut down for part of a night or are turning slow I do not dream. Do you think that could be affecting my health? Would it affect your health? Do you think being...

I slept great again last night. It was windy and the howling was head in the cabin, however it had no affect on my sleep. Apparently the wind does not have in it what ever the turbine noise has in IT. Like the night before I had many dreams which were active and exciting.
9:20 PM. It was a breezy day at the cabin. No ill affects I am feeling great. My ears are hissing more. I feel that is...

5:30 AM. (at cabin) I slept through the night. I don’t think I even woke up over night. I am up early to cook maple sap that I collected yesterday into maple syrup. As usual when I am away from the wind industrial park I had luxurious dreams. Luxurious because it is a luxury due to the reality that at home I can not dream as the turbines have taken my dreams away. My dreams here are very active...

It was a horrible nigh of sleep deprivation. I have 8 times written down. I was woke up by the turbines at 12:03, 1:01, 1:28, 2:22, 3:35, 3:47, 4:09 and 4:48. I did not sleep after 4:48. My eyes are a little blurry and I have a headache. I will mention again that in the past I rarely had a headache. They are getting more numerous the more time in the wind factory goes on. I feel exhausted.

6:20 AM. Foggy. I think the turbines are still, still. I do not hear any noise. It is too foggy to see the turbines.

9:45 PM. Wind S, 19.0 rpms. Noise is like the last report, but turbine 4 is a louder jet noise and turbine 73 is thumping and pounding louder.

6:00AM. I woke up later than planned I am used to being woke up so I figured I would be awake long before 6:00 AM. I am ready to begin boiling sap into maple syrup. I think I may have come to one time last night. I had so many dreams. As usual when I am away from the wind factory my dreams are colorful, active and exciting. This makes me wonder what all is happening to my brain and other organs...
