Abstract: Research of regularity patterns of statistic parameter variation of wind turbine (further referred to as WT) generated noise is presented in the article. The Fast Fourier Transform algorithm for the analysis of the measured data was used to establish the noise spectrum, which was a broadband range. In the noise spectrum, the greatest changes were observed in the frequency range of 200–5000Hz when WT was operating and when it was not. The level of the wind turbine noise increases as wind velocity increases. But the level of this spectrum decreases under all frequencies when the distance from wind turbines increases.
