I have read something recently about wind turbines creating a sound that's below the level of human hearing (it's been in our local paper because they're building an experimental one about 200 mtrs tall near where I live,) and I was wondering if your dogs were showing any sign of hearing anything like that?

Hi GG,... the sound of this one is above hearing,....i.e we can hear it, but we could easily sit outside next to it and not be bothered by it,...it is a very slight sound, even when going full pelt.

I haven't been that close to a large one, but from what I hear you wouldn't want one in your back garden,... there is a 5 kw turbine at a customers place that I see most days, and that must be like living on a heli pad, a continuous wooosh,..wooosh,...wooosh

It was the one factor that we couldn't really plan for when we got ours, its ok being told its quiet, but quiet to one person isn't so quiet to another,... so we were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the noise from ours is
