It's interesting how many engineers, technicians, managers worked over many many years in huge datacenters and nothing was wrong with them, but somehow people far away are affected, and only now.

Power density increased a bit recently. Having 10 cooling towers instead of one matters, then you get beat frequencies too.

Excellent point.
Most people don't even know what that is (while often experiencing it in their computer cases). Now imagine that on a massive scale.
>>
>>108800876
so you actually believe that nobody who ever worked in a data center *ever* got sick? or is it more like you don't understand how some people can be sensitive than other people?

>>108801208
NTA but it really isn't loud on site.
Before the advent of Hopper and Blackwell racks there isn't even a necessity to wear ear protection on the floor.
This "infrasound" garbage reads like electromagnetic hypersensitivity bullshit where people get sick from cell towers not even turned on yet.
>>
>>108800436
If this were real they'd just move away. It's an excuse for, mainly minorities and sometimes white trash, to sue for imaginary damages. It's like blacks trying to sue stores for leaving their shithole ghettos.

It's telling that the one video is of the guy standing literally right outside a datacenter when most of them are removed from residential areas.

You generally don't sleep on site.
>>
>>108801369
If it was that strong to be felt miles away people wouldn't be able to work at all on the DC itself, they would physically be rattled to death.

Infrasound isn't some phenomenon that can remain at a constant intensity over distance, the source itself has to be extreme, it would be extreme enough where people just wouldn't be able to work there.
>>
>>108801406
People do tho
When a storm hits hard enough to necessitate emergency staffing, people sleep there and get paid for it too. Some of the break and office areas are quieter than my house.
>>
>>108801409
>it would be extreme enough where people just wouldn't be able to work there
No, are you insane? Do you also think there's only one level of sound and it's either instant death or no sound at all?
>>
Infrasound was crackpot bullshit when it was about windmills and the same is true when it's about datacenters.
>>
>>108801425
What I'm saying is in order for a sound to be felt or heard for miles, the source of such sound has to be extremely powerful
Sound doesn't move without falling off intensity over distance. Doesn't matter if it's audible or infrasound.
>>
>>108800876
>>108801265
You're an idiot, hearing protection is required inside of these facilities. You're not using hearing protection inside of your house.
>>
>>108801455
It's not tho.
Only in floors with Nvidia racks is hearing protection required at my site.
It's pretty mild otherwise.
>>
>>108801446
Yes, obviously. But it's not the inverse square law for sounds traveling over different mediums.
Infrasounds can often travel very far distances over certain mediums. It's why you sometimes can hear the base form someone playing music far away even though you're indoors but you might not hear the other sounds.
>>
>>108801446
Powerful, like maybe 35 gas turbines running all day and night?
>>
>>108801530
specifically AI gas turbines, regular gas turbines are inaudible
>>
>>108801455
>hearing protection is required inside of these facilities.
the people crying about this do not live inside of these facilities
>>
>>108801478
It still stands to reason that if you feel something from miles away and it's making you "sick" then the workers at the source would be suffering much, much more.
Some of the the only noises or air pressure pulses experience by people miles away are literal rocket launches or explosions.
>>
>>108801434
People can hear the LEDs in their extension cords, this isn't crackpot bullshit
>>
>>108801555
You don't feel anything, unless it's very, very loud. What people feel are symptoms such as fatigue, bad sleep, and nausea. Nothing that's on and off just with sound exposure.
There are new papers released all the time about infrasound exposure and it's been studied for decades.
I'm sure workers at data centers sleep worse than the average man and I'm sure they are also more fatigued.

You know you can be exposed to extreme amounts of chemical pollutants for decades without any outward symptoms, right? I get the feeling you're trying to internally classify things as either being simply good or bad.
>>
>>108801596
By this logic you're more likely to be disturbed by the tectonic plates shifting or some shit.
>>
>>108801620
Sure, buddy. If that's what you got from my post.
>>
>>108801596
>I get the feeling you're trying to internally classify things as either being simply good or bad.
I'm just extremely doubtful because people are playing these games where a physical phenomenon simultaneously cannot be felt or perceived but can have such bad adverse effects. I could understand if you were sitting in your house and felt faint pulses that could affect your quality of life.
Chemicals are also completely different as actual molecules/elements are accumulating and the body runs out of means of filtering out or deal with them

>Americans getting Havana Syndrome'd en masse because the capitalist suicide cult has killed itself in the desperate chase of ever higher profits and the pedophiles in charge want to stave off the end of their vampire feast as long as possible no matter the cost
When is enough enough? Shit was already on its way out when they decided to hollow you manufacturing and move it to China to increase profits, leaving just make believe service economy bullshit left. Now it's not even an economy, just a circlejerk passing around fake money hoping to keep going as long as they can.
>>
>>108801759
Data centers have nothing to do with capitalism. Government and banks want them because they promise more centralization and more control. Corporations rushing to build them for maximum access to fiat points is the tool not the root cause.

Sound propagation always follows the inverse square law regardless of medium. The only things that can change that are reflection, refraction or reverberation (two of those which happen when the medium changes) and all of those only attenuate the intensity further.

usually there are two optional propagation available half sphere or high mount full sphere

>>
>>108801409
You could get constructive interference, especially with multiple cooling towers etc.
But I honestly think we aren't building datacenters anyway. These Stargate style datacenters are something else.
Who the fuck needs an 8 mile by 8 mile layout for putting server racks? Even half of that is power and cooling infra, the numbers still don't make sense.

Every time you involve boomers you get more made up diseases designed explicitly to pull up the ladder from young folk. And then they complain that their kids live with them?

I guess they just can't get it up for their wife or want to watch their son hit is so there is no real downside. Boomers are degenerate retards.
