Answer:

noise pollution

Step-by-step explanation:

Visual pollution may be defined as a pollution that obstructs a view. It impairs one ability to see and enjoy a pleasant view. It is considered as an aesthetic issue.

The rotating blades of the windmill causes visual disturbances by intercepting the light of the sun and it causes moving shadows and the light flashes from the reflection of the sun. It also causes noise or sound as the blades rotates. Thus the combination of visual and acoustics exposures leads to the negative assessment of the windmills.

Therefore, people living near wind farms objects the windmills as they causes visual pollution as well as noise pollution.
