Correction: Thess, A.D.; Lengsfeld, P. Side Effects of Wind Energy: Review of Three Topics—Status and Open Questions. Sustainability 2022, 14, 16186

The authors would like to make the following corrections to the published paper [1]. The changes are as follows:

(1)

Adding a reference in the caption of Figure 2. The citation has now been inserted in the caption to Figure 2 and should read as follows:

Figure 2. Migration routes of monarch butterflies between Mexico and Canada [24] and regions with high average wind speed (NREL 2021) [25] and high density of wind farms (USGS 2019) [26]. (sketch provided by Franz Trieb)

The newly added reference is:

[26] USGS: U.S. Geological Survey. U.S. Wind Turbine. 2019. Available online: https://eerscmap.usgs.gov/uswtdb/viewer (accessed on 20 November 2022)

In addition, the number of references [26,67] in the original manuscript has been rewritten after adding this reference.

(2)

Adding a reference in “Section 4.2. Sound Emittance from Wind Turbines” on page 10. The citation has now been inserted in the second paragraph of “Section 4.2. Sound Emittance from Wind Turbines” and should read as follows:

…with the Swedish EPA (Naturvårdsverket) noise level guidelines suggesting that equivalent (A-weighted) noise levels must not exceed 40 dB(A) in residences [69]

The newly added reference is:

[69] Ryberg, J.B.; Bluhm, G.; Bolin, K.; Bodén, B.; Ek, K.; Hammarlund, K.; Henningsson, M.; Hannukka, I.-L.; Johansson, C.; Jönsson, S.; et al. The Effect of Wind Power on Human Interests; Noise; 2013; Section 2.1, p. 30 ff. Available online: https://tethys.pnnl.gov/sites/default/files/publications/Henningsson-et-al-2013.pdf (accessed on 20 November 2022)

In addition, the number of references [68–74] in the original manuscript has been rewritten after adding this reference. The total number of references has increased from 74 to 76.

(3)

Replacing the number in the third paragraph of “Section 4.2. Sound Emittance from Wind Turbines” on page 10:

replace “40 m” with “140 m”.

(4)

Deleting one sentence in the caption of Figure 3:

After deletion, the title should read as follows:

Figure 3. Emittance measurements of governmental institutions in Bavaria, Germany, for a 2–3 MW wind turbine in close proximity outdoors and at a distance indoors. The grey shaded frequency indicates the infrasound portion. Measurements were conducted under medium-strong winds of 8–13 m/s. The wind turbine noise is clearly separated from the background outdoors at close proximity but not distinguishable from background noise at longer distances indoors. All infrasound components are well below hearing and apperception levels according to the German DIN, as indicated (with permission from: Bayerisches Landesamt für Umwelt, Nadeeka Pinto, the data and figure have been published in Ref. [70], p. 8 of PDF).

The authors and the Editorial Office would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. A first version of this corrigendum was submitted on 21 December 2022. The original article has been updated.
