He must have a well-insulated house if opening and closing the door makes a 23 decibel difference.
Too bad he can't open his windows, though. Or enjoy his yard.
Can't wait for the backlash to tear these datacenters down, or the economic cliff to shut down their operations.
Not at the range of things under 70 decibels.
Decibel scale is logarithmic, so down at around the 60 level, the difference between 30 and 60 is basically the difference between a normal conversation and someone whispering.
Maybe I just lived in a poorly insulated house, because I swear I could hear outside as plainly with the windows closed as if they were open.
It was an old house, mind. Also drafty...
Lol. Yeah. It may have been that one. Some single pane windows from 50 years ago.
