Suffolk neighbors irritated by solar farm noise

Neighbors who live next to the Stratford Solar Project off White Marsh Road are growing increasingly frustrated with the high-pitched noise emanating from the project.

“The noise, quite frankly, is driving me nuts,” said Nick Creasy, who lives across the street from it.

The property used to be a cattle farm but became a solar farm about two years ago, the neighbors said.

Transformers and inverters associated with the project produce noise throughout the day.

“It sounds like you’re living in a machine shop,” said Creasy.

The project helps generate clean energy to power homes, but neighbors say they would like the noise to stop.
