‘We’re Living in a Nightmare:’ Inside the Health Crisis of a #Texas Bitcoin Town
"Nighttime noise pollution directly leads to heart failure and molecular changes in the brain, which may lead to impaired cognitive development of children and make some people more prone to developing dementia"

Excerpt: "n an evening in December 2023, 43-year-old small business owner Sarah Rosenkranz collapsed in her home in #GranburyTX and was rushed to the emergency room. Her heart pounded 200 beats per minute; her blood pressure spiked into hypertensive crisis; her skull throbbed. 'It felt like my head was in a pressure vise being crushed,' she says. 'That pain was worse than childbirth.'
"Rosenkranz’s migraine lasted for five days. Doctors gave her several rounds of IV medication and painkiller shots, but nothing seemed to knock down the pain, she says. This was odd, especially because local doctors were similarly vexed when Indigo, Rosenkranz’s 5-year-old daughter, was taken to urgent care earlier that year, screaming that she felt a 'red beam behind her eardrums.'
"It didn’t occur to Sarah that these symptoms could be linked. But in January 2024, she walked into a town hall in Granbury and found a room full of people worn thin from strange, debilitating illnesses. A mother said her 8-year-old daughter was losing her hearing and fluids were leaking from her ears. Several women said they experienced fainting spells, including while driving on the highway. Others said they were wracked by debilitating #vertigo and #nausea, waking up in the middle of the night mid-vomit.
"None of them knew what, exactly, was causing these symptoms. But they all shared a singular grievance: a dull aural #hum had crept into their lives, which growled or roared depending on the time of day, rattling their windows and rendering them unable to sleep. The hum, local law enforcement had learned, was emanating from a #Bitcoin mining facility that had recently moved into the area—and was exceeding legal noise ordinances on a daily basis."
