Upon being cleared for the visual approach to XXR ZZZ; Pilot Flying set FAF altitude and continued descent from 4000 ft. to 2400 ft. PM (Pilot Monitoring) contacted tower to inform them of their flight path: turning base [runway] XXR. The crew turned base inside of the FAF; and therefore continued descent to an intermediary altitude appropriate for the glide path intercept inside FAF. In the base turn; the aircraft aurally alerted to a group of antennas in the vicinity of our flight path. As we were already in the base; we continued in the base without interruption and continued the approach to land XXR. The cause was an EGPWS aural alert to man-made group of obstacles; antennas; in the vicinity of flight path. Crew suggest [increased] distance in the turn from proximity of antennas to prevent future aural alerts from EGPWS.
Flying the visual backed up by the ILS XXR; we were cleared for the approach; turning right base for the XXR runway during VMC; crew was aware of the set of antennas in the vicinity; however the GWPS was trigger issuing a 'Caution Obstacle' alert. Pilot Flying increased rate of turn as a preventive course of action to stay south of the obstacle. The crew safely remained out of the path of the manmade obstacle and landed without any interruption. EGPWS ALERT of the antennas in the proximity of the field Increase lateral distance from obstacles to prevent alerts from anything around or in the EGPWS to avoid situations like this.
EMB175 flight crew reported EGPWS alert during visual approach.
