Wow that video of the house next to the mine in Arkansas is nuts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHrkZtuVPdU&embeds_referring... I would legitimately have driven my car through that building if I lived here.
How is that legal in US? I am pretty sure that is not legal is many part of the world even if the sound was only on from 9 to 5. And last time I went to a Datacentre it may be an eye sore but it doesn't produce any noise at all. Do all DC in US produce noise like that?

It's probably not legal, although this is an area of law that is generally delegated to the most local levels of governments, so the details will vary based on where exactly you're located. There's going to be a catch-all public nuisance ordinance this would fall under, although there may also be a specific noise ordinance that this is violating.

Re: No more data centers: Ohio township pushes back against influx of Amazon, others
#26As for the safety record, I think it's fair to say that the issues are largely due to AWS leadership in the central Ohio region not taking safety seriously and internal politics where leaders tend to be more concerned with their own self-interest, avoiding a PIP, managing perception, and advancing their careers.
There's a lot of talk about prioritizing safety but there's a distinct lack of ownership from the senior leaders. The relationships between Safety, Security and Operations are more adversarial than collaborative but it's easy to simply ignore the problem and/or push the blame to others while nothing gets solved. I have plenty of anecdotes I could share but it would just be airing dirty laundry and ultimately not productive.

That sounds like hundreds of 40mm or 80mm fans running at 5000rpm. You can get a lot more airflow with less wasted power by using larger slower fans... and they won't wear out as fast.

SCOTUS decided that corporations are people, which refers to the legal concept of corporate personhood. The question is: can a "person" legally disturb their neighbor with this amount of noise and get away with it? Wrongly, I think SCOTUS would decide in favor of the corporation if it gets that far.
