In some cases, Yes.

Sleep disturbance is a serious issue. Furthermore, there are persistent concerns about low frequency noise and more research is urgently needed. There are reports of headaches and migraine, nausea, depression and stress being experienced by people living close to wind power stations.

There are a growing number of reports of the detrimental effects on the health and wellbeing of those living in close proximity to wind turbines. This report from Nova Scotia is just one.
