‘Multiple residents have sued over the sound emissions’: Journalist shows how loud a Michigan data center reportedly is 24/7

Journalist Aya Miller, who posts as @ayathetigress, recently visited a data center in Dowagiac, Michigan, and filmed a homeowner measuring the sound levels coming from the facility, according to her TikTok video. In the video’s on-screen text, Miller wrote, “This is the sound emitted 24/7 from a 30 megawatt data center in Dowagiac, MI measured from a homeowner’s porch.”

The sound level meter shown in the video appears to display a reading between 58 and 63 decibels. In the video, the homeowner can be heard pointing out the readings, saying, “You can see it’s in the high 58’s, 59’s to 60’s.”
