A data center opened next door. Then came the high-pitched whine
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/11/data-centers-ai-electricity-virginia-00815219> Stephenson said the data center’s operations team had not seen any “abnormalities” on the day in question.
> “However, we take any reports of issues at the site seriously,” Stephenson wrote
Absolutely no abnormalities because this is by design, but nobody wanted to pay attention when approving the building and zoning. Amazing what some money to politicians will get you.
I can't even imaging living within ear shot of these things. Horrific quality of life. I can't sleep when my water pump is active.
> Turner said county officials didn’t understand in 2022 and 2023 exactly what it meant to have gas turbines at a data center, nor did they have zoning rules to address it.
Well then why were they allowed to vote on it ? It's incompetance ? Or just straight up corruption.
Or they don't see the problem. Someone's going to be paying 600-900k to live in a townhouse 1000 ft from the runways at Dulles Airport
