judgecorp writes: A Paris court has ruled that a suburban data center can continue to operate, reversing an earlier decision to close it down after protests from residents. The data center's owner, Interxion, cited noise impact studies form 2014 which showed the site was operating within authorized limits, and also within the levels it predicted in its planning application

    Not really... My brother lived for a year in a tower block next to the Level 3 data centre in London... The noise was so bad during the summer - a full huge roof with so many AC units. I can't tell you how loud it was, but, you don't want to live near them by choice... If you move to the area after, fair enough... but, if they are built later, it is certainly bad. My brother moved in during the winter and didn't notice at all - it was only during the summer it became a problem.
