Somebody told me that they are incredibly noisey. True?

No Bill they make the same noise as a persons voice talking.
That noise is just from the blades cutting through the air. They regularly grease the bearings so there is never any squeaking noises.

Maybe it sounds like someone talking if your Mother-in-Law moans on endlessly.... To me the most similar feeling is sitting in coach near the engine of a commuter jet.
But $20K per tower, per year makes it sound quieter, amazing....
They do in England: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroby_Sands_Wind_Farm
I'm sure they do in other places too.

No wind turbines are anywhere near "profitable." None will even return their cost. I see them as a short lived fad, just another way for politicians to hand other people's money over to their supporters. It's much like ethanol subsidies etc. Solar is even worse from a cost/reward benefit. It's all window dressing, something to allow politicians to speak "happy talk".

Just a small home wind generator can save you 25,000.00 over 10 yr period or 85%..
And you can pay the thing off in 3 months
