These data centers are spreading all over the country. The Data Center builders seem to target small town with unsophisticated local governments like City Councils. Even though 100% of the residents don't want Data Centers, local city councils vote them in anyway. Granbury,TX has a data center and the local people hate it. There was a Data Center builder that just bought 800+ acres in Red Oak,TX despite 300 locals showed up at a City Council meeting to oppose it.

The old saying, money talks and bull#### walks.
I live in rural Southwest ND. We have one proposed about a mile and a half from my house. I guess I’ll make every dime I can while it’s being built.mjd4277, Getsinyourblood and OldeSkool Thank this. -
What are we hearing in that video? Big HVAC systems/fans running? I can't imagine what other noise these places would make.
Somebody educate me.hope not dumb twucker Thanks this. -
I asked Brave search.
The noise from a data center is primarily caused by cooling systems (HVAC fans, air chillers, and cooling towers) and power infrastructure (diesel generators and gas turbines). These sources produce a constant, low-frequency hum or droning sound that can be heard for hundreds of feet around the facility, often described as similar to a distant engine or hovering helicopter.
Key contributors to this noise include:
Cooling Equipment: Air-cooled chillers and dry coolers generate continuous broadband fan noise (55–85 dBA) to dissipate heat from servers.
Backup Power: Diesel generators and on-site gas turbines create loud rumbling or roaring sounds, particularly during monthly testing or baseload operation.
Electrical Infrastructure: Transformers and switchgear contribute a persistent low-frequency hum. -
The electric provider for the Lake Tahoe area just told them they will be cutting off electricity to them mid 2027 because they got a better deal from a data center. This will leave approx. 47,000 customers in the dark.
Getsinyourblood Thanks this.
