Residents Say Data Centers Are Radiating Bizarre Frequencies

A sustainability nonprofit and critics say data centers may emit infrasound from servers, cooling systems, and generators that can disturb nearby residents.

Reported symptoms include insomnia, nausea, headaches, and anxiety, though the evidence remains uncertain.

The piece cites a study suggesting data centers can be very loud internally, but it does not prove harmful off-site exposure.

If verified, infrasound complaints could add a new local opposition argument alongside concerns over power use, water demand, and noise.
