Nuisance not unique to big turbines

Anecdotal tales of sleepless nights near a privately owned Woods Hole wind turbine, and the wind turbine located on the campus of the Woods Hole Research Center have started to percolate through the Falmouth community.

As the linked story illustrates, small wind turbines can cause sleepless night's.  The Falmouth Board of Health has given warning that chronic sleep interruption can account for other significant health related conditions.  As pro-renewable energy residents around Falmouth's industrial turbines make their health impact concerns known to town officials, another village of Falmouth residents are realizing that sleep concerns aren't unique to neighbors around utility sized wind projects.
