Deep dives

Bitcoin mining noise causing medical problems

The episode discusses the health crisis in a Texas town resulting from a Bitcoin mining facility's noise pollution. The excessive noise, over 72 decibels near residents' bedrooms, led to various health issues like nausea, sleep disorders, and heart problems. The high-frequency noise, though not perceived as loud, can cause significant health problems unnoticed. Efforts to lessen the noise impact, like implementing oil immersion rigs, have limitations due to cost and effectiveness.
