As tech giants rush to build infrastructure, some residents who live near data centers say a constant low-frequency vibration is ruining their health and homes.
interestingly the one i was next to was one of the first to use the evaporative cooling tech most of them use now. it was developed partly at my university.
that’s why i mean it’s the same thing. don’t build them near people. we know ground-transferred infrasound is bad for your health.
as for louder, idk. i worked next to a facebook dc for years, it was eerily quiet.
I’d say the traditional long-term type of DCs arent as badly built as those built atm that looks like they can be deconstructed in a single week.
Old data centers and these new things are about as similar as a single family home and a cruise ship.
