Short summary
We studied wind turbine noise propagation in a hilly terrain through numerical simulation in different scenarios. The sound pressure levels obtained for a wind turbine in front of a 2D hill and a wind turbine on a hilltop are compared to a baseline flat case. The source height and wind speed strongly influence sound propagation downwind. Topography influences the wake shape, inducing changes in the sound propagation that modify the sound pressure level and amplitude modulation downwind.
