It could be but also datacenters are ridiculously loud and the sound is very high pitched. Would drive anyone nuts if they could hear it.
On the inside, yeah maybe; but a properly designed data center shouldn’t be louder than any typical building on the outside. But hey, this is in a rural Texas town, so I won’t be surprised if the building is not up to code.
"Properly" and "should" are doing a lot of work here.
Huh? That makes no sense. High pitched sounds are attenuated VERY easily and the only sound you could ever hear outside the dozen or so I've worked in/around you could only hear the HVAC gear outside. There's a reason why when you go see a concert outside there's a linear array of horns facing the audience while the subs are under the stage.
I agree. So if people are hearing it and demonstrating it with decibel readers then there's probably little to no sound dampening.
They are deafening but usually they are very well insulated seeing as keeping servers cool is very expensive and extremely important.
