Wisconsin residents have filed a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft, alleging that its Fairwater data center in Mount Pleasant emits excessive noise from diesel generators and HVAC systems. The suit claims this noise pollution, including infrasound, has negatively impacted residents' sleep and quality of life. Microsoft stated it is investigating the issues and has implemented noise mitigation measures, but the lawsuit suggests these have not fully resolved the problem for all affected parties.
