There is a list of links to archived and current conferences in the sidebar.

Low frequency Noise

The international Low Frequency Noise conferences were established in the mid 1970s. Geoff Leventhall has been closely associated with them since 1980 . They now take place every two years and take place mainly in Europe however, in 2008 it was in Tokyo, Japan then in 2010 is was Aalborg. They provide a forum for researchers and other interested participants to explore this specialist area of acoustics.
The 2012 conference is now being planned and will probably be in Stratford upon Avon in the UK.

Wind Turbine Noise

These international Wind Turbine Noise conferences, also established by Geoff Leventhall started in 2005, the first one was held in Berlin and attracted participants from many countries. It provides a meeting point for researchers, planners, environmental scientists, developers and those suffering from the effects of wind turbines to meet and hear the latest research, as well as discuss current issues arising from the noise from wind farms and wind turbines.
These are also held every two years and the latest one was in Aalborg, Denmark in 2009. A very successful event judging from the number and quality of the papers presented and range of participants from all over the world.

The next one will be in Rome in 2011.
