How Aligned Minimizes Data Center Noise for Communities

Noise is an important consideration when planning and designing a data center campus, particularly when it comes to neighboring communities.

At Aligned, minimizing potential noise impacts starts with a combination of technology and thoughtful site planning. That includes selecting modern mechanical equipment designed to operate more quietly, incorporating sound attenuation, and using additional mitigation measures like sound walls or berms where appropriate.

Campus layout also plays an important role. Whenever possible, Aligned prioritizes positioning buildings and equipment farther from nearby residences, adding another layer of separation between data center operations and the surrounding community.

In the latest That’s a Great Question, Chief Technology Officer Michael Welch explains how these considerations come together to help reduce potential noise and limit the impact on neighboring communities.
