Said the board is ignoring three legally valid petitions to rewrite the data center rules and lower the 65 dB limit; vowed residents won't give up.

Asked how the new 'secret projects' will get power given Duke transmission constraints, and asked for 45 dB limits and fines starting at $10,000 that double per violation.

Called the 65 dB standard a health hazard, demanded UDO amendments now, questioned private CyrusOne meetings, and asked commissioners to raise their hands if they'd never signed an NDA.

A recording engineer measured 57 dB of ambient background at the site perimeter, leaving only 9 dB of headroom under the 65 dB limit, and pressed the board on how the noise ordinance will be enforced.
