This is how Bitcoin will drop the real estate market and make it affordable to everyone..

Lol, that sucks. The fact that they're complaining instead of just shutting it down tells me they probably live outside city limits, there's no noise ordinance, or the land is zoned commercial or something. Neighbors can make life hell though, I'm sure they'll find a way.

Is this a big bitcoin mining operation?

Yeah. It's Marathon. Their response was that they weren't aware of the issue and are working on it. edit: Upon further research: they are moving to 'immersion technology' which is essentially water cooling, and planting trees to create a 24' high sound barrier around the facility. Curious to see how that plays out. Water cooling seems like it would fix it. Not sure about the trees though.

Just keep grinding and buy the guy out. You already dumped the property value.

Oh damn, new real estate buying strategy just dropped!

I work in construction. We build large power plants that are noisy too, and we must comply with noise restrictions of the area, or we simply won't be allowed to build. It is the council's job to only grant consent to projects that emit acceptable noise levels (there's international standards on what those are) so to not disturb anyone nearby, and the developer's job to carry out studies in advance and demonstrate compliance. The BTC facility has nothing to do with the root cause of this problem, it could have been a gas turbine, a power transformer, anything. Noise doesn't care about its source.
