Understanding & Preventing Data Center Noise Pollution, Part One: The Science of Noise

As data centers rapidly expand across both rural and urban communities, one issue continues to surface again and again: noise pollution.

​From the constant hum of cooling systems to backup generators and industrial-scale mechanical equipment, communities living near data centers are raising concerns about how noise impacts their daily lives, sleep, health, and overall quality of life. Yet noise is often poorly understood, difficult to measure, and inadequately addressed in local policy and permitting processes.

​Les Blomberg, Founder and Executive Director of the Noise Pollution Clearinghouse and member of the Scientific Advisory Council for Quiet Communities, will lead this webinar series, bringing decades of experience researching noise impacts and helping communities understand and address environmental noise challenges.

​This two-part webinar series is designed to help communities better understand both the science of noise and the tools available to prevent and manage harmful impacts.
