I wasn't aware of the vacuum effect. Anywhere there is turbulence there could be large pressure drops. That could possibly be designed out.
Build the towers even taller, study flightpaths chosen by birds, I don't know....
Never mind the nuisance value of the vibrations, what about the nuisance of educating a cohort of law students to deal with petty complaints?
