Settler Acoustics and the Noise of Data Centers
This chapter explores the unique aspect of the Arizona case where research participants propose using the Hila River Indian Reservation as a location for data centers, highlighting the concept of settler acoustics. It discusses the different perceptions of noise based on its association with the US military and draws parallels between noise pollution in Chandler and demolitions near a US Naval base in Bieques, Puerto Rico. The chapter also touches on the gendered nature of data centers and how they reproduce a white heteronormative infrastructure.
