Carroll County, Kentucky residents play data center noise recording at fiscal court meeting over planned hyperscale sites

At a Carroll County, Kentucky fiscal court meeting, residents played a recording of the loud, constant screeching sound emitted by a data center to protest two planned hyperscale data center projects, each expected to draw about 800 megawatts and cover roughly 1,000 acres. Magistrate Scott Nab, who supports the projects, told residents they had made their point, prompting pushback from the crowd. The recording was captured at a nearby five-megawatt facility, far smaller than the proposed Carroll County sites.
