ESI has evaluated noise for many data facilities (e.g., data center, cloud storage, data mining, AI, crypto, etc.) over the years. A few project examples include:
- DataBank MSP2 East Twin Cities Data Center (Gensler)
- Peak Mining 30 MW Facility (Northern Data)
- Applied Digital ELN Datacenter (Gensler)
- DigiPower X Buffalo Site Data Center (Kelvin Emtech)
- Ponderay Flagship Data Mining Site (Merkle Standard)
- Phoenix, AZ and Santa Clara, CA Data Centers (Prime Data Centers)
The following is a list of typical services we provide for data facility noise control projects:
- Establish noise criteria / requirements based on local and national guidance.
- Monitor ambient and equipment outdoor noise.
- Evaluate outdoor noise propagation and prepare noise contour plots (see example noise contour in gallery below).
- Analyze equipment noise control options and develop recommendations.
- Prepare noise reduction solutions, including custom mitigation that can be built on-site with standard materials, reducing costs and lead times.
As our clients continue to develop more and larger data facilities, we find that significant noise is produced by the emergency power, cooling, and computation equipment, which often becomes a critical concern for neighbors and municipalities. Rely on our noise control engineers to proactively assess your project and reduce risk of future complaints and Code violations.
