Answer to Question 1

VAWTs produce less noise than HAWTs.

Answer to Question 2

Tip speed is defined as the measured speed at the blade end. It is important because centrifugal force is highest at the tip and designers need to consider maximum tip speed and wind speed that a wind turbine can safely handle.
