Audible noise from power lines: measurement, legislative control, and human response

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Power Appar. Syst.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7284585
The special problems associated with audible noise from corona on high voltage power lines are presented. Human response to this noise source is examined in the context of requirements for special noise measuring methods and instrumentation and considering existing and proposed legislation for noise control in various countries. The need for a new and more realistic evaluation by regulatory bodies and utilities, of transmission line noise - and its effects on individuals and communities - is stressed.
