Summary:The use of large baffle speaker system to produce infrasound/low frequency noise from wind turbines for subject medical testing was found to have issues in reproducing the original recorded signal. Reproducing the original transient time signal was not achieved. The use of synthesised signals for subjective testing of infrasound was examined and is discouraged when compared to actual real world sound files. The results of the testing and recommendation to use medical studies in the field rather than laboratory testing is discussed.
