If there is a noise issue, I'm sure it would be (pardon the pun) down-wind from the mill-farm.
With that particular thought in mind, I'm sure the local populace could easily determine, based on historical records, which direction is the predominate direction that the winds comes from in a particular area.
Determining that piece of information could easily set up known locations for proposed wind-farms where they would produce the least amount of "noise pollution" for the general population.
Then, in about 40 years, when the land prices down-wind from the wind-farm(s) become depressed enough, the owners will sell off the properties and housing developers will move in like they've done near airports and demand further noise reduction...
Another point to keep in mind...
In very hilly areas, most of the wind-farms end up being on the edge of those hills or in areas that aren't blocked by trees causing "drag" and such on the air stream...thereby you end up seeing these things in areas that used to have intristic (sp?) beauty to the local, and transient, population...so now you'll have to deal with the nature-nuts and artists that wouldn't bother to visit the area in a million years but will now, suddenly, decide that the area will be irreputably harmed by these farms...
The NIMBY crowd will have very vivid and audible reasons that these mills shouldn't be in their area...so be ready for the protests and the Radio/TV fart-fests that you'll soon be subjected to. People you've never heard of, let alone even living in your area, will be arriving and postulating about the damage (real or imagined) these mills will have on everyone, everything, everywhere or whatever time they're allowed to be there...
Get out your tinfoil hats and suits...it's going to be an interesting time...
