Turbines
Bloody things! My house is hidden behind the trees but is just to the right of the large torpe coloured house in the middle of the picture .
The noise you can hear is the wind not the turbines, So far they have been inaudible at my home which is a great relief.
There are 7 of these 355 foot turbines about 700-1000 metres away from my home ruining what was until a few months ago an attractive open rural area. Now it is an industrial site .
Here's the area immediately adjacent to the wind farm

.Imo wind turbines are massively subsidized white elephants that despoil otherwise attractive landscapes. They produce no power whatsoever on the coldest wind free days in winter and require backing up by fossil fuels/nuclear power stations.No storage facilities are being built to store the excess power they generate on windy days when believe it or not the national grid pays them not to produce power!
They cost each household in the Uk about £100 per annum on their fuel bills and this is set to double in a few years.
Currently wind farms produce a tiny proportion of the power the UK needs at enormous expense and are a blight on the landscape
There are far better,cheaper and more reliable ways of reducing CO2 outputs and I am in favour of using these alternative methods
