Vineland residents say a loud humming noise is keeping them awake at night, and they blame a data center that is being built there for the disturbance. Several people who spoke with NBC10 said they have lived in the South Jersey community for years and have only begun hearing the noise recently. Although the noise is worse at certain times than others, residents said it has made them uneasy and even impacted their sleep. “You can’t sleep. You can’t fall asleep right away. It wakes you up,” said Scott Montgomery. “We like to sleep or be here with windows open because it got nice out. It was a brutal winter. And you could just feel it pulsating through the house.” Theresa Lewis, who lives within eyesight of the data center, said the noise sounds like an airplane. “Flying low, but it’s consistent. It just doesn’t stop,” she said. Several residents said they have reported the noise to the health department, which has not yet responded to NBC10’s request for comment However, DataOne, the company that owns the data center, provided us with this statement: “We appreciate the support of city leaders and the patience of the Vineland community during the temporary construction phase of our new data center. While this remains an active construction site, we understand concerns about ambient noise in the area.” “Based on recent inspections and acoustical monitoring conducted by the Cumberland County Health Department, our site is operating in full compliance with Vineland City noise ordinance limits. We take our role as a community partner seriously and will continue deploying sound reduction measures to minimize any impact on our neighbors.” ...read more read less
