Microsoft held a Q&A session at the Mount Pleasant AI data center in Racine County, addressing the persistent hum from the facility. Neighbors near the site have complained about the noise, which they believe does not stop and concerns about Microsoft's plans for more data centers on the same site. The company has been responding to these complaints directly to them. However, the firm has not yet provided a solution to the persistent noise. The QA was held in response to the high-pitched hound, which has been described as a significant inconvenience to residents living near the data center. The facility is set to go online later this year and has plans for at least 15 more still under construction.
