We Hear You: Bitcoin Mining Noise Pollution Is A Solved Problem Today

Bitcoin mining is loud.

Anyone reading that sentence who has not visited an operational mining farm is probably imagining a loud restaurant or a running air-conditioning unit. But in this context, “loud” actually means an almost ungodly cacophony of spinning fan blades producing a noise level akin to a fighter jet. Mining gives new meaning to “sound money.”

A single bitcoin mining machine produces between 70 to 90 decibels (dB) of sound. Decibel levels scale logarithmically, so if one relatively-quiet machine produces 75 dB, then 10 similar machines produce 85 dB and 100 machines produce 95 dB. For comparison, the average nightclub maintains a noise level of 98 dBalmost deafening.
