🦔Residents living near AI data centers are reporting constant low-frequency hum measured as infrasound, sound below the human hearing threshold that causes dizziness, nausea, vertigo, and sleep disruption. The noise comes from cooling systems and onsite gas turbines hyperscalers are building behind-the-meter to bypass slow grid interconnects. Local zoning rules do not regulate infrasound because traditional noise ordinances only measure decibels in the audible range, leaving residents with no legal recourse. The video below captures what households near these facilities are living with around the clock. My Take The infrasound problem does not exist in the regulations because the technology producing it at scale did not exist when the rules were written, and developers know exactly which rural jurisdictions lack the framework to push back. Households who bought before the data center was announced get to choose between selling at a loss or living with symptoms that did not exist a year ago, and that cost is being externalized onto people who never agreed to host critical infrastructure for the AI buildout.
