The noise generated by windfarms is a very important parameter to be studied in the design phase. Sound propagation models like ISO 9613-2 is commonly used in noise prediction studies due to its simple input parameters required but it does not take into account some factors that have a significant effects on the results such as wind velocity‚ wind direction and some weather conditions like temperature gradient. Also it assumes the condition of downwind in all directions. So‚ the calculations can be
