    Benn Jordan has an excellent video on this where he investigated infrasound and spoke to people impacted by it. Well worth watching.

      TL;DW? Is it real, or fake like wind turbine syndrome?

        It’s very real. Ruined people’s lives and even negatively impacted plants and animals nearby. He also performed an experiment on people at a con with a control group and a group being hit with infrasound to prove out the effects.

        The Wikipedia article on infrasound has one US weapons expert quoted as saying there’s no reliable evidence of it causing nausea, yet the original discovery of Infrasound was from a French researcher who’s whole team was nauseous and they were able to trace it back to a low frequency motor that was resonating with the building. They published a paper on it in Science in 1968 called “Infrasound” which is literally where the word infrasound comes from.

          Dang, okay. Well, then, good, we have yet another reason against data centers. I just wanted to stay as objective as possible, but will check it out, thanks.

    “Do not register on decibel meters”

    Get a better decibel meter, then?

      We went and got the good meter, from the safe. It burned out.

    Plenty of reasons not to have these that don’t sound like 5g is turning the frogs gay or whatever.

      But if we can get the Alex Jones crowd on our side, that might include the Epstein administration :P
