Benn Jordan has an excellent video on this where he investigated infrasound and spoke to people impacted by it. Well worth watching.
TL;DW? Is it real, or fake like wind turbine syndrome?
It's very real. Ruined people's lives and even negatively impacted plants and animals nearby. He also performed an experiment on people at a con with a control group and a group being hit with infrasound to prove out the effects.
It's real. It's very interesting, you should watch it.
Dang, okay. Well, then, good, we have yet another reason against data centers. I just wanted to stay as objective as possible, but will check it out, thanks.
Who knew AI would be what corporate overlords would use after fossil fuels to destroy humanity.
The Wikipedia article on infrasound has one US weapons expert quoted as saying there's no reliable evidence of it causing nausea, yet the original discovery of Infrasound was from a French researcher who's whole team was nauseous and they were able to trace it back to a low frequency motor that was resonating with the building. They published a paper on it in Science in 1968 called "Infrasound" which is literally where the word infrasound comes from.
Which is another way of saying that no one has tested for it. Doesn't mean there is evidence it doesn't work.
