Noise is a real design variable — fans, chillers, and emergency generators under load. Treating every hall as a permanent rock concert is the meme version. Treating sound as optional is the corporate version that loses trust.
Demand decibel limits, setbacks, generator test schedules, and independent measurement. Then say yes to capacity on industrial land — not “no servers in Alberta.”
What “good” sounds like (literally)
- Published noise models for worst-case generator testing
- Orientation, berms, and equipment selection that respect neighbors
- Night-time limits that match rural and suburban expectations
- A real complaint process with response times
For Gibbons, Fort Saskatchewan, Sherwood Park, and Edmonton metro debates: mitigate noise — do not exile compute. Next: community impact · stop campaigns.
