Virginia's data centre noise fight has moved from planning chambers into bedrooms, where some neighbours say mattresses have become their last line of defence.
Residents near Northern Virginia's expanding data centre corridor told a Yahoo News report that they have tried to block the constant hum by sealing windows, changing sleeping arrangements and using improvised barriers inside their homes. The dispute has become a test of whether local noise laws can deal with the low frequency sound created by cooling systems, fans, transformers and backup equipment.
