You can literally hear the power going through the lines.

Which is the problem. People get scared of them, even though there's no danger, but they convince themselves there is, and they get a Nocebo Effect.

This has been widely tested. Some people claim that WiFi makes them ill, so they did tests. The tests showed no difference in people's reported symptoms when they were next to a real WiFi router that was emitting WiFi signals vs. a sham WiFi router that was designed to look real but didn't have any active radio components.

They've also done studies that show that exposure can result in symptoms. Exposure to media claiming WiFi is dangerous, that is.
