If you haven't heard, data centers are LOUD.

That's the thing though, they are mostly LOUD in frequencies inaudible to the human ear.

Low frequencies also travel much further have high penetration so putting walls between the data center doesn't help much.

With data centers cropping up all over the US, they sometimes get plopped down near neighborhoods.

What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Datacenters Behaving Like Acoustic Weapons

I bet their noise pollution is much worse than windmills - and the noise is still less deadly than their carbon pollution and less destructive than their giant water theft.

@davidarnell

I do not doubt that.

The pulling water out of the drinking supply bit is also pretty nasty due to the additives they use to cool down mainframes requires intense amounts of energy to scrub & become potable water again.
