    Not even policy... solar + battery is now cheaper than gas generation

    @sabik @danlyke @elfin Cross reference the folks demanding data center construction with their stock holdings.

      Years back I had a favorite camping spot. One year I had this weird hum- vibration thing that only I heard. Turns out an gas company put in a drilling rig over the next ridge. I had to stop going to that place, it left me feeling exhausted and stressed out. Seems the older I get the more sensitive to sound I get, or there's just a whole lot more un-natural sounds out there. Its depressing.

      @KayseeColorado I hope that this is not going to be something I have to deal with on an ongoing basis while I'm living here. I'm still hearing it after 6 PM. Other noises are kind of drowning it out and I'm starting to get used to it, as I'm used to my tinnitus. But I don't want that to be the case. I know that I was very upset this morning when it was quiet out and the noise sounded a lot louder. I can't imagine waking up every day feeling like that.

            @lumilumi Someone who replied to my original post shared a pretty good YouTube video which I think might be related to the issue. He's talking about low frequency sounds that are normally below human hearing, but I suspect I might be capable of hearing them. (Some people can hear very low frequencies.)

              At that frequency range, you'll be feeling it more than hearing it. And it will be doing harm if the amplitude is high enough.

              @dec23k @tomsart That's kind of what they said in the video: that it's actually causing physical harm to people even though they can't hear it. I wish there was a way to measure and record it.

                @mlanger I really do not get this.

                By 2005 I had worked in EVERY Data Center from Oakland to San Jose, and many across the Midwest and Colorado ... and NONE of them made noise. What's changed?

                @elfin I don't think this is a normally audible noise. It's very low frequency like a hum or a rumble. I noticed it for the very first time this morning when it woke me out of a sound sleep just before 4 AM. I thought it was a problem with my HVAC system but my system was not on. Nothing in my house was on the noise persists. It's after 6 PM and I still hear it. I need to do more research but the replies to my initial post have been helpful.

                  @mlanger live next to a data center but it isn't a megalopolis commercial version. Not loud, but security lights are on 24/7, lights confuse the local birds.
                  Highway is louder.

                  @sternecker This isn't a regular noise. It's a low frequency hum or rumble. It just started this morning.

                      A big thank you to the folks who boosted this and an even bigger thanks to the folks who provided useful information and links. The sound I'm hearing is a low frequency rumble that I began hearing just before 4 AM this morning when it woke me out of a sound sleep. I'm still hearing it after 6 PM.

                      And a special thanks to the folks who identified themselves as assholes by posting some inane, smart ass, bullshit comment. Of course, you won't see this because I've blocked you. 🙄

                        @mlanger this is going to sound crazy but how far are you from any major hydro projects or irrigation pumping stations?

                        I've experienced similar things from big hydro turbines and huge pumps even miles away. The low sound and vibration has a way of traveling and popping up miles down the road.

                          @sabik @danlyke @elfin note who’s trying to burn all the fossil fuels they bought while that energy still can be sold, and then cross reference who’s pushing for super energy-intensive capital expenditures
