I mean it's a start.
I know the stories about still birth livestock are fake but I've seen people interviewed who claim to be experiencing health complications from the noise. Also apparently a noticeable drop in small wildlife like birds and insects.
IMO humanity's goal should be Star Trek. We should build infrastructure with the long term plan of drastically reducing humanity's physical footprint and returning as much space as we can back to wildlife.
Data centers, if done responsibly, can help us get to that future.
