that's why i mean it's the same thing. don't build them near people. we know ground-transferred infrasound is bad for your health.
as for louder, idk. i worked next to a facebook dc for years, it was eerily quiet.
Old data centers and these new things are about as similar as a single family home and a cruise ship.
See SUMO's comment above.
interestingly the one i was next to was one of the first to use the evaporative cooling tech most of them use now. it was developed partly at my university.
I'd say the traditional long-term type of DCs arent as badly built as those built atm that looks like they can be deconstructed in a single week.
