In recent years, India has seen a significant increase in wind energy power output. During the power generating process, the functioning of a Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) generates two forms of noise: mechanical noise and air cut noise. Noise is defined as any unwelcome sound. Noise pollution by any industry or individual is subject to government regulations. The major goal of this work is to expose the range and impact of noise, as well as its impact on surrounding houses, using a case study technique for a wind farm in India’s southern region. The study collects data on noise levels within and around WTGs and assesses their impact during the day and night. Tamil Nadu is a state in India. To put any wind turbine generator near residences, the study uses both actual (on-site data) and theoretical or standard noise level data stipulated by the Government of India. It also examines critical aspects such as measurement time and distance to assess the effect of noise when comparing multiple WTG ratings at varying distances from them. As a result, it can be concluded that there is no noise pollution to the surrounding society during the day and night operation of WTG ratings of 0.85MW or 2 MW at various locations, and that they are environmentally friendly with noise levels within the acceptable level / zone prescribed by the Government author.
