There's tons of evidence for data centers, but I've never heard the same for wind turbines. Do you have a source?
Can confirm I have seen tons of articles over the years of residents complaining about low frequency hum from wind turbines. Just Google it. In comments sections, it generally gets written off as bullshit or the residents just hating clean energy. Now the same scenario comes up for data centers and people want to accept it as a legitimate problem.
I dunno, but maybe being exposed to a constant non-stop noise that never turns off might not be good for humans, no matter what the source is.
To be fair, wind turbines have a positive use for society, while all these AI data centers do not. Proximity to communities should be considered in both situations though, but the data center push is far greater right now, especially considering that the dumbasses pushing this shit are also shitting on wind turbines and pushing far more destructive energy sources.
i've heard it a lot but never put much stock in it until there was actual research: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-97107-8
