Family insists wind farm noise made them sick

A Nova Scotia man who abandoned his home, claiming noise from a nearby wind farm made his family sick, says a study by an audio expert proves his case, even though a new federal government report concludes the exact opposite.

Daniel d’Entremont and his family left their home in Lower West Pubnico last February.

D’Entremont says the 17 wind turbines that tower over the community — the closest just 400 metres away — were sending low-frequency vibrations into the house.

This inaudible noise, he claims, deprived his family of sleep, gave his children and wife headaches and made it impossible for them to concentrate.

“We’ve only returned three nights, and whenever we return we feel this sensation in our body,” says d’Entremont, who now lives in nearby Abrams River with his wife and four of their children. Two other children live on their own.
