For a bitcoin mine -- here's one where people can hear it buzzing 24/7 from miles away. That's more extreme, but every massive datacenter I've been to is not a place I would want to live anywhere near. Especially if you're sensitive to certain frequencies. e.g., I can hear high voltage lines buzzing if I'm near them and it drives me *insane*. I would never be able to sleep near them.
