A new cogsci paper examining human responses to wind turbine noise, highlighting that many of the stress responses seen IRL tend to be socially mediated (eg, 'wind turbine syndrome').

www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Despite their alignment with sustainable development principles, wind farms often provoke controversy and misinformation, particularly regarding the noise they produce and their potential impact on human functioning. Concerns have been raised about the possible effects of this noise on irritation levels, psychological well-being, and cognitive functioning. Yet, there is still a lack of controlled, comprehensive studies that could substantiate these concerns. Here, a cognitive neuroscience approach is proposed to experimentally and multifactorial explore wind turbine noise’s impact on various mental functions. We used recordings from an actual wind turbine to investigate its effects on the dynamics of brain waves crucial for complex cognitive tasks, as well as on sustained attention and inductive reasoning in healthy adult volunteers. We also tested the subjective evaluation of the stress induced by wind turbine noise and the annoyance it causes. Control conditions included silence and road traffic noise (participants were blind to the nature of acoustic variables). The findings of this pilot study reveal that short-term exposure to wind turbine noise with a sound pressure level corresponding to the real-world situation (i.e., 65 dB SPL) does not adversely affect any of the examined cognitive functions and is not perceived as more stressful or bothersome than road traffic noise. Furthermore, we utilized various psychological scales and found that even tendencies towards rumination or reduced capacity for reflection and ambiguity tolerance did not lead to maladaptive perceptions of wind turbine noise and, therefore, to a state that might indirectly influence mental functioning. Although these results cannot be generalized, they support the concept that the interlinkage between exposure to wind turbine noise and human cognitive functioning is not a cause-and-effect relationship. We discuss the mediating role of socially constructed beliefs about wind farms in this inte… However, these null results do not negate the potential adverse influence of such noise on human brain processes or the fact that psychological diversity plays no role here. Instead, they indicate that under the conditions proposed in our approach, which are blind to the nature of the acoustic variable and thus detached from the social meanings attributed to wind turbine noise, such effects do not occur. It should be noted that, based on the ICBEN scale results, 14 out of 15 participants exposed to wind turbine noise rated their annoyance as either 0 (n = 4), 1 (n = 3), 3 (n = 2), or 4 (n = 5), indicating minimal disturbance, even in the presence of maladaptive or neurotic psychological traits. Only one individual rated their annoyance as high (at 7), despite a low score for rumination, but with low ambiguity tolerance and reflectivity. This implies that 93% of participants did not find wind turbine noise intrusive (Clark et al., 2021; Fields et al., 2001). As per previous studies, noise would negatively impact the neural dynamics of complex cognitive processes, sustained attention, and inductive reasoning only in case of high annoyance (Astuti et al., 2023; Muller et al., 2023; Pieper et al., 2021). The low annoyance (as well as stress) ratings observed in our exploration would be attributed to the fact that participants were unaware of the nature of the sounds they were exposed to (the procedure was blind, and no volunteers identified experimental sounds as wind turbine noise). Thus, they did not evaluate the noise from the perspective of socially constructed assertions or as a consequence of wind turbine syndrome mechanisms (Clark et al., 2020; Pierpont, 2009; Schaffer et al., 2016; Smith et al., 2020). As a result, they did not experience the nocebo effect (Crichton and Petrie, 2015), and we did not observe any impact of wind turbine noise on their cognitive functioning. This suggests that the sound pressure level of the wind turbine noise used in our study, i.e…

Big money, big conflicts. Aged care assessment privatised by stealth. - Michael West
The Labor government has been busy privatising aged care assessment and awarded $1.5B worth of contracts to for-profit operators.
