    There are plenty of highways that almost never stop these days, while their peak hours are much louder than this. That was a huge frustration for me, this amount of noise (conversational decibels) is really not much and very hard to relate to by audio from a clip alone.

    Think of all the people that live near freeways with international airports next to those. Airplanes coming and going all day, traffic constantly.

    That’s why I wanted to see data and get a real distance from the data center, and an actual db reading. I just can’t do anything with this video.

    Another example is wind turbines. Near constant noise https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=78QwBM_AD3s

    How loud exactly is that? At least I have some sense of the distance. People are concerned about the frequencies of these too, although a Finnish study could find no correlation.
