An important factor is that the converter station cost increases with the increase in the DC voltage more than an increase in the DC current (CIGRE TB 388 2009). Further the choice of the DC voltage will impact the choice of the technology used for the project as a consequence of the DC current rating.
The higher voltage level does not mean that the noise level will increase, but the decisive factor is the higher power to be transmitted. For an 800 kV, 6400 MW converter station, the number of converter transformers will be twice the number in a 500 kV, 3000MW station, thus the number of sound sources will be doubled.
