As someone with regular migraines who’s also very sensitive to noise, this is crazy, and sound pollution is something most people don’t even take seriously.
90 decibels? Fucking end me.
90 decibels is about as loud as a truck driving past or a (legal, not stupid noisy) motorcycle from 4-5 metres away at 70% rpm.
If they’re more than 500 metres away this would be a slight annoyance at worst.
The article mentions studies but doesn’t link any. It uses one doctor as a reputable source but we know doctors can fall for conspiracy theories like anyone else.
This sounds like the anti-wind farm idiots who claim all sorts of health issues but ONLY after they’ve read about these health issues from conspiracy theories.
The nocebo effect is real, these people might be suffering, but I have serious doubts the cause is actually some air conditioning… which is what will cause the noise from data centres.
It's not a conventional data center. It's a bunch of containers containing mining hardware with giant fans blowing through them. This is obvious from the header image of the article.
