Bitcoin mining facilities, crypto mining, and data centers of all types generate large amounts of noise that can be a nuisance to nearby residential neighbors.  These noise concerns can be more prevalent in rural settings due to quiet, low background sound levels.  Most property line complaints arise at nighttime when the ambient levels are low and the data center or mining facility is running at night.

The most prominent noise source of the miner and AI data center is the large HVAC exhaust cooling fans.  These cooling fans are mounted outside the container/enclosure/building and help cool the servers and ASIC miners.  The cooling system draws air through the intake and exhausts heat out at a high CFM speed.  The fans produce a hum and droning noise can then be heard several feet/yards away from the mining operation and draw complaints and potential litigation.

eNoise Control can assist the operators/designers to head off complaints and comply with local noise ordinances.  We offer noise modeling – software assisted mapping of the noise source overlayed with the new location site to show projected sound levels for your new mining facility location.  See example below:

If the operator already has noise issues, eNoise Control can come on site to take sound level readings, conduct a noise assessment and offer proven noise control solutions.  We can help you navigate feasible solutions for noise control.  This can include recommendations of quieter fans, earth berms, sound barrier walls, exhaust silencers, intake silencers, etc.

You can also hire eNoise Control as an independent, third party acoustic consultant.  This is important when dealing with property line disputes, noise ordinance compliance, and any litigation/lawsuits.  The Bitcoin mining containers and data center noise can create high decibel levels ranging from 55 dBA to 80 dBA.  These decibels can exceed nighttime city noise ordinances that can be as low as 45 to 55 dBA.  eNoise Control can be your hired trusted adviser to help you navigate a sensitive dispute of noise complaints near a Bitcoin mining facility.
