Paradoxically, small turbine wind generators are significantly noisier than the large ones. You would NOT want to have a small turbine (propeller) one attached to your house, and nearby neighbors might not like it either, depending on how nearby they are. Residential propeller generators are best when they can be 50-100 feet away from the structure they are supplying power to.
This is not a problem with the rotating (spinning) ones pictured in Reply #9
