Today human are developing very fast and creating new technologies. But with this development we forget to adjust with the nature and due to this many problem occurs. Actually according to the scientists, one of the causes of this avoidance behavior is the noise emitted by wind turbine rotors and we should study even more so that we can solve all problem. In reality with creating new technology taking care of nature is also important so that everyone live happily.
