    Isn’t it really difficult to soundproof against the low frequency noises?

      Just use corrugated cardboard and with longer sine waves, duh!

      I am not an audio engineer but you might have a point in that the longer low sound waves would be harder to block.

      Where my audiophiles at? We need a sound check on low frequency blocking.

      Edit:
      Found an article on a crypto mining facility mitigating noise issues.

        Also found an article stating that underwater data centers would be the best way to reduce noise. Ignoring that sound travels better underwater and combined with heating the water around them, it would massively disrupt untold amounts of marine life, sure!
