They should announce a day they plan on cranking up the power, and instead turn everything off. See how many people can "feel" the increased activity.

As far as I understood, those noises would come from gas or diesel electricity generators and cooling systems.

Yes, but also just from the fans and air movement inside the facility too. I work near a datacenter in a basement with thick concrete walls, and you can still hear the servers from outside. And the racks in that one are only half full.

Is that one in the picture right next to a school? God imagine how republican those idiotic kids are going to grow up to be.

infrasound as a health worry has been debunked. This is just the same old "power lines are making me sick" type of hypochondria.

Given the lack of true understanding in the medical field... I wouldn't bet on that. The list of things they don't know the cause of is really long.

That said, I don't care if someone claims they can feel it. If it can be reliably detected at distance from the facility, then it shouldn't be allowed. Just because it has no proven impact doesn't mean it has no impact.

I invite you to shine a powerful infrared light on your eyes for extended periods of time. Since the light is invisible and your eye doesn't hurt it must be safe right?

So, is this like, playing the brown noise and everyone nearby just constantly shits themselves?
