Excerpt: "When David Szala moved into his Aurora home in 2015, he knew he was by a data center.
" 'You can hear it as soon as you walk out. Fans, just constant with the noise,' Szala said.
"But in recent years, the #CyrusOne #DataCenter campus has expanded significantly.
"Szala and his neighbor, Bryan Castro, both say they hear cooling fans all day and night, and sometimes, generators create more noise.
" 'You feel it in your bones,' Szala said.
"Castro says the buzzing bounces through his backyard, which looked a lot different when he moved there in 2007.
" 'You can feel the vibrations in the house,' Castro said. 'This was 25 acres of nothing but forest.' "
