Residents near Granbury, Texas have filed a lawsuit against a local bitcoin mining facility, claiming it is generating intolerable levels of noise and physical vibrations causing health problems.
The facility, operated by Marathon Digital Holdings, has industrial cooling fans that generate a constant hum and residents are seeking a permanent injunction.
Impacted residents have reported difficulty sleeping, hearing loss, vertigo, and tinnitus, while their animals also display signs of stress.
The facility denies the allegations, stating that sound measurements are within legal limits and there is no established link between their operations and the reported health issues.
