The noise could be heard both inside and outside of our home.<\/p>\n Another noise problem caused by the windfarm near our old home was the persistent quiet buzzing noise which made our old home feel as if there was some sort of presence there. It made you feel agitated and edgy.<\/p>\n For Mr. Davis, this was diagnosed as tinnitus, but moving away from the DSN windfarm has cured the problem \u2014 no more buzzing in the ears.<\/p>\n We did not realize how much these noises from Deeping St. Nicholas Windfarm were affecting us. Our sleeping was not good. Both of us could wake up 3 times a night, finding it very difficult to go back to sleep. Now, we only wake up once and find it much easier to drop off to sleep; it feels a lot more relaxing in our current home.<\/p>\n We are also not disturbed by turbine noise outside our new home when gardening \u2014 something that often was not possible at our old home, especially in the evening.<\/p>\n Initially we did not see how living near wind turbines could affect us. But having lived too near to Deeping St. Nicholas Windfarm for nearly six years, we can say the noise from it changes your life for the worse. It there is a noise problem the only answer is to move house. The noise is not something you get used to.<\/p>\n We are both 80 and happy and peaceful in our new home. We sleep at night and are able to enjoy life again.<\/p>\n The prospect of having wind turbines near our new home fills us with fear. I urge SHDC not to allow this application \u2014 not to allow our lives to be destroyed again.<\/p>\n Yours faithfully,<\/p>\n E.E.
