3 Predicted noise levels from the existing Tir Mostyn site have been based on a reported (1) sound power level of a Gamesa G52 8kW wind turbine. For the purposes of these predictions a 1dB measurement uncertainty has been added to the reported sound power level. The stated overall reported sound power level is db(a), at 10 m.s -1. The corresponding source noise levels used in these assessments are shown in Table H6.3. Table H6.3 Source sound power levels assumed for Tir Mostyn turbines db(a) re: W Octave Band Centre Frequency (Hz) Reference Wind Speed: m.s -1 L WA k 2k 4k 8k Predicted noise levels from the consented Brenig site have been based on the sound power level of a Vestas V80 2MW wind turbine, operating in the 101dB mode. The source noise levels used in this assessment are based on the levels stated in the Environmental Statement on which it is understood the Brenig scheme has been granted planning permission (2). The stated overall sound power level is db(a), at 10 m.s -1. The corresponding source noise levels used in these assessments are shown in Table H6.4.

4 Predicted noise levels from the proposed Gorsedd Bran site have been based on the sound power level of 2.5MW wind turbine with an overall sound power level of db(a), at 10 m.s -1. The corresponding source noise levels used in these assessments are shown in Table H6.5 below: Table H6.5 Source sound power levels assumed for Gorsedd Bran turbines db(a) re: W Octave Band Centre Frequency (Hz) Reference Wind Speed: m.s -1 L WA k 2k 4k 8k Predicted noise levels from the consented Derwydd Bach site have been based on the sound power levels of an Enercon E70 E4 2.3MW wind turbine. The source noise levels used in this assessment are based on the levels stated in the Environmental Statement on which it is understood the Derwydd Bach Wind Farm has been granted planning permission (1). As is stated in the ES for Derwydd Bach, turbines T3, T7, T9 are assumed to be operating in a noise restricted mode where the generated power is restricted to 1.2MW. The stated overall sound power level for the unrestricted and restricted modes of operation is db(a) and db(a), at 10 m.s -1 respectively. The corresponding source noise levels used in these assessments are shown in Table H6.6 and Table H6.7.

5 db(a) re: W Octave Band Centre Frequency (Hz) Reference Wind Speed: m.s -1 L WA k 2k 4k 8k Table H6.7 Source sound power levels assumed for Derwydd Bach 1.2MW restricted turbines db(a) re: W Octave Band Centre Frequency (Hz) Reference Wind Speed: m.s -1 L WA k 2k 4k 8k Predicted noise levels from the consented Nant Bach site have been based on the sound power levels of a generic 2MW wind turbine. The overall sound power level is db(a) at 10 m.s -1. The corresponding source noise levels used in these assessments are shown in Table H6.8. Table H6.8 Source sound power levels assumed for Nant Bach turbines db(a) re: W Octave Band Centre Frequency (Hz) Reference Wind Speed: m.s -1 L WA k 2k 4k 8k For the purposes of a cumulative wind farm noise assessment, wind direction effects have been considered. This is in the form of an assumed additional attenuation value. The additional attenuation takes into account refraction effects for an upwind receptor position and source directivity variation for a crosswind receptor position. No additional attenuation is assumed for a downwind receptor position. Client: Page 4 of 33 / Annex H6 Issued by: RWE Npower Renewables Ltd. Hayes McKenzie Partnership Ltd.
6 For any given wind direction, each nearby property can be classified as being either downwind, crosswind, or upwind of each of the turbines. If the house is downwind (+/-75º) of the turbine no correction is required to the predicted turbine noise level. If it is crosswind (+/-º) of the turbine a 2dB reduction can be made to the predicted turbine noise level. This assumption is based on source directivity observations when a reduced noise output occurs in crosswind conditions. If the property is upwind of the turbine a reduction is made to the predicted turbine noise level due to shadow zone effects, which depend on distance and frequency. The additional attenuation due to a receptor being located in a shadow zone has been based on the scheme described in Hubbard & Shepherd 1990 (1). The scheme detailed in Hubbard & Shepherd 1990 is designed for flat, homogeneous terrain. As suggested by the Wyle Research Report (2), to take into account the hilly terrain that exists in this instance, half the excess shadow zone attenuation to that applicable for a flat terrain is assumed in the cumulative noise predictions below. In addition, the assumed excess shadow zone attenuation is further reduced for properties that lie in a partial upwind condition. Calculations have been carried out for wind directions in increments of º around the site for each site considered within the cumulative noise assessment. Once these corrections have been made, the overall noise level from all the turbines is calculated at each property for each wind direction. The cumulative noise predictions presented below represent the worst-case wind direction for each assessed property, for the most sensitive wind speed range. Predicted cumulative noise levels applicable for other wind directions are generally lower than those presented below. (1) Hubbard, H.H. & Shepherd, K.P Wind Turbine Acoustics.
