- Local TV journalists have reported on data centers emitting disturbing noise, with a Detroit reporter capturing a facility producing a demonic-like scream heard 24/7.
- Residents like Marjorie Finn have endured the noise for years, with visible distress captured on camera.
- The facility, Hyperscale Data in Dowagiac, Michigan, is owned by Alliance Cloud Services LLC and primarily houses crypto mining rigs.
- Noise levels range from 50-70 dB (comparable to a vacuum cleaner), and the city has fined Hyperscale for exceeding limits of 55 dB (night) or 65 dB (day).
- Hyperscale's CMO stated they are transitioning from crypto mining to AI and robotics, with half the equipment already offline and the rest to be shut down within three months.
