You can even hear it in the video, link added…

    Well that was pointless.

    Was there supposed to be something on the “sound readings” meter? Can I see it?

    No.

      For what its worth, despite missing the punchline of the actual measurement, the guy knows what he is talking about. Taking a dB measurement in C weighting over some integration period is how to do it for this scenario. I doubt his meter is calibrated but its doing a good job.

        Taking a dB measurement in C weighting over some integration period

        Yeah, the non filtering of the lower frequencies happens when done correctly, if I recall. I am curious what that actually is, and I am curious what is making those specific frequencies.

        At a certain decibel range of ambient noise, humans become even more sensitive to the lower freqs. Being able to use that knowledge while taking measurements of my own is useful to me.

        I would be interested to know the sound signature of gas turbines.

          “yeah there’s a new giant structure and there’s a new persistent and pervasive sound in the region that both appeared around the same time, but there’s no data connecting the two. It could just be the sound of my own ego”

      Did you not hear the noise with your own two ears? Are you that fucking deaf and willfully ignorant that you you need to see a number and can’t, without it, hear exactly what he’s talking about?

      “It’s a conversation that never stops, is in your bedroom, and you can’t turn off, ever. It’s not loud but it never stops.” should be more than enough to make the point abundantly clear especially when you can fucking hear the sound in the video.

        People like you are insufferable. He had a device and he found it worth using, I too would like to see that device. What the fuck is wrong with you that you need to say I am deaf and willingly ignorant because you don’t want to know more?

        Damn, people like you make it hard to give a shit about bad things. I just wanted more information, data centers are noisy, I know that. I also have a decibel meter and want to know the db (or dba with calibration) and I am interested in the wave and frequencies. Because, you know, I want to know these things. I am curious about how these sounds are generated. The fans? The cooling system? A back up generator? How are the frequencies effecting people in various other industries?

        Sorry you have no interest in the world, and a video of someone saying “its loud” pointing to some trees in the distance is all you the capacity you have for knowledge.

        Fuck right off.
