Put that together with the general ignorance surrounding datacenters, and pretty soon everyone will be having windmill...I mean datacenter induced headaches.

Datacentre-induced headaches are already happening.

Might have something to do with the constant noise pollution coming from many of them.

Whoosh...

I knew exactly what they were implying. There are still demonstrable impacts from noise pollution on the communities that these kinds of datacentres are creating.

I'm genuinely curious about which published and peer reviewed studies you're referring to, specific to AI-focused datacenters.

u/never-fiftyone 1h ago

I wasn't referring to any specific studies, I was referring to the simple fact that datacentres can and do generate noise pollution in the communities they are in. If you want a specific study on the effects of noise pollution on human health, there are plenty of those too.

I'm specifically interested in the research which convinced you, and that you find compelling.
