Short summary
Noise from wind turbines has been contentious for many years for those who have to live near wind farms. Despite strict regulations and significant research into the subject, it continues to be an issue for wind energy's role in the green transition. We were curious to find out why. Our research into three research ("epistemic") communities shows that noise is not understood as the same thing by the scientists dealing with it, fuelling the controversies over the solutions proposed.
