Do you live near a data center that makes a noise loud enough to bother you in your home? If so, please DM me. Also, please boost this so I get some responses. I need some information.

@KayseeColorado Oh, I know exactly where they are. Microsoft just built a big one about a mile east of me. I can't see it from my home, mostly because there's a ridge between it and where I live. At night, I can see the glow over the ridge.The data center isn't 100% complete yet, but I'm wondering if they've started testing equipment and that's what I'm hearing. We have quite a few in my area including a bunch across the river, about 3 miles away. They've been around longer, though.

Years back I had a favorite camping spot. One year I had this weird hum- vibration thing that only I heard. Turns out an gas company put in a drilling rig over the next ridge. I had to stop going to that place, it left me feeling exhausted and stressed out. Seems the older I get the more sensitive to sound I get, or there's just a whole lot more un-natural sounds out there. Its depressing.

@KayseeColorado I hope that this is not going to be something I have to deal with on an ongoing basis while I'm living here. I'm still hearing it after 6 PM. Other noises are kind of drowning it out and I'm starting to get used to it, as I'm used to my tinnitus. But I don't want that to be the case. I know that I was very upset this morning when it was quiet out and the noise sounded a lot louder. I can't imagine waking up every day feeling like that.
