I was just being sarcastic.
Bush’s fault.
None of these geniuses have figured out that the real problem is that when there are MULTIPLE wind mills running at similar frequencies and slightly different phases, an interference pattern is established by the multiple sound wave fields colliding with each other, resulting in a standing wave pattern in which several areas will have the low frequency sounds tremendously amplified. Standing at such a location one could be bombarded by a tremendous sound wave, whereas a few yards away could be dead silence.
Now assume one’s home sits right where one of those loud standing waves constantly hits and once can easily imagine the home essentially becomes a large low frequency drum. And the horrible thing about low frequencies is that they penetrate everything (including you) and there is no practical way to establish baffles or barriers.
Really, this basic high school (or first year college physics) regarding wave behavior. Or at least it was 45 years ago when I went to school. Who knows what (if anything) is taught in government schools these days.
(BTW, documenting the above phenomenon with actual measurements and the attendant mathematical models would make for a great PhD thesis.)
Low frequency pressure waves interfering with the inner ear and equilibrium doesn’t sound far fetched at all.

That makes sense, and it explains why not every one experiences this.
I’ve heard old timers talk about this effect when riding prop driven transport aircraft. When the pilots were trying to sync the props. They would hear the engines then for a few moments they would be perfectly synced and it would be deathly quiet.
What?
“Wrong thread. Damn smart phone.”
It may be the wrong thread but we all knew what you were posting about. :-)

Enter the Trial Lawers ...one of the democrats main benefactors.
Thanks, that’s a keeper.
With me, certain radio channels will have a high pitch whistle.
Close as I can describe it is if you would adjust a dog whistle so you can hear it.
Sometimes it’s just a steady whistle sound, other times it’s a broken sound, beep beep beeeeep bep bep beeeeep, almost as if Morse code was being sent.
does the music bother you if you can adjust the frequency range on it? I’m wondering if you are picking up other sounds within or is your hearing being misinterpreted by the auditory cortex. Not being able to listen to classical would be heartbreaking for me.
Wind turbines - hyper expensive, energy inefficient, bird-killing liberal progressive wonder toys whose vibrations make people sick. What’s not to like?
oh, by the way, I used to hear high sounds so well the school nurse was astounded and retested me. Now I think I hear lower sounds cause I go outside, sit, and then an chopper flies over. Kind of like Radar on MASH. Been freaking me out a little.
Rap and Grunge “music” do the same thing to me.........
You be talking about what is known as “beat frequencies”. Harmonics, products of two or more tones.
Ayn Rand "invented" something like this in "Atlas Shrugged."
I don’t know, I’ve never tried to adjust the frequency.
Music that is amplified was always annoying to me so I never developed much of an appreciation of music.
Loud music, forget it.
Just stick an icepick in my ear and get it over.
Same here.
I had my hearing tested years ago when I worked at a shipyard.
They wanted to keep a record of everyone working there and how their hearing was affected over the years because it was so loud.
I was tested and retested one day then had to go back and get retested again the next day.
Told me it wasn’t possible for a human to hear what I was hearing.
Well, it looks like our .gov has ‘invented’ something like this in real life too:
