本标准提供了选择风力涡轮机和风电场气动噪声测量的技术，包括仪器标准和计量技术、测量装置、测量程序、数据处理和噪声源数据分析。测量范围包括类似于IEC 61400-11的近场声测量，以及相关房屋或建筑物内外的距离和远场声测量。本标准侧重于振幅调制噪声，但低噪声- 提供了包括次声近场测量在内的频率噪声。IEC 61400-11提供了整个风力涡轮机噪声测量标准，而本标准更侧重于风力涡轮机的空气声学噪声，以避免与IEC 61400-11重叠。本标准的用户还应熟悉ANSI S1的标准。1994年（R2004），声学术语。

This standard provides techniques to select wind turbine and wind farm aero acoustic noise measurements, including instrumentation standards and metrology technology, measurement set, measurement procedures, data processing, and noise source data analysis. The scope of measurement covers near-field sound measurement similar to IEC 61400-11 and distance and far-field sound measurement both outside and inside concerned houses or buildings. This standard focuses on amplitude modulation noise, however, guidelines for low-frequency noise including infrasound near-field measurement are provided. IEC 61400-11 provides overall wind turbine noise measurement standards, while this standard focuses more on the aero acoustic noise of wind turbines to avoid overlap with IEC 61400-11. Users of this standard should also be familiar with of ANSI S1.1-1994 (R2004), Acoustical Terminology.
