Comment on What is the big deal with data centers or whatever? How can they give off pollution? I get it may cause a spike electricity but shouldn't the company give residents a discount for having theirs?

Data centres, like other large industrial facilities often have cooling equipment/HVAC installed on the outside of the building.

That shit is loud if it doesnt have proper sound proofing installed.

I live about 750m away from a factory that didn’t have the soundproofing until I got the local council enforcement team involved. At my front door and in our bedroom the noise level was averaging around 60db if we left the windows open (which wasnt an option in warm weather).
