Acoustics - The assessment and measurement of sound from wind turbine generators

This document has been re-assessed by the committee, and judged to still be up to date.

WARNING:  SUPERSEDED Standard.  This document has been replaced by 

  • NZS 6808:2010

    • Provides a suitable method for the measurement and assessment of sound from wind turbine generators. Also provides guidance on the limits of acceptability for sound received at residential and other noise sensitive locations. The standards may be applied during the wind turbine generator or windfarm development planning process, to confirm compliance with resource consent conditions covering sound levels, and for the investigation and assessment of noise complaints arising from wind turbine generators.
