You are absolutely wrong about the noise. I stood near the base of one of the largest wind turbines made when in full operation. No sound from the generator equipment and only a faint whish as each blade passed by. I had to listen carefully to hear it.
Turbine means only a rotor or vanes driven by movement of a fluid or air. The comparison to a jet engine noise is as far off base as anyone could ever get.
