A massive Bitcoin mine in Granbury, Texas is driving residents crazy. At all times they hear an extremely loud hum, and it’s making them sick
“Every family is sick”
“I have a constant headache right in the back of my head or either over my eyes. I've been in the hospital two or three times”
“Hundreds of metal boxes contain tens of thousands of computers running 24 hours a day, consuming around 300 megawatts of electricity needed to mine for Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency. That's comparable to that of a city the size of Austin, with nearly half a million households”
They aren’t lying, there are real health effects to hearing this hum all day every day
Data centers produce continuous low-frequency noise at <20 Hz, which is below normal human hearing. Cryptocurrency mines also produce a constant frequency
This continuous frequency causes permanent hearing damage, vestibular (balance) issues, elevated cortisol levels, stress, chronic fatigue, headaches, sleep disturbances, cardiovascular and respiratory problems, vibroacoustic disease that is thickening of heart structures and severe physical and psychological distress
