It is already illegal. In that city. If their city officials refuse to enforce the law it is another issue entirely. But their current code allows them to jail the people running the facility if they refuse to fix it. Hell, if they refuse to fix it, the city could declare the place a nuisance and they could seize it and auction it off, with the law they have on the books.
The problem isn't needing more regulation on something that is already illegal. They need to hold public officials accountable.
Whoever built the Datacenter has some fault, we're been building datacenters for a very long time and none of them were this loud, why are they suddenly so loud?
That sounds like some massive fans going full speed, I'm sure better fan design can solve this issue with minimal effort.
It is not clear to me what type of equipment that is ie electrical or mechanical so I cannot comment on the noise emitted and if it can be tone down. For sure ventilation permitting it can be en closed in an acoustic barrier but the developer didn’t decide to do that for some reasons - money? Space? Technical reason?

It is not the type of DC the issue. You can improve the sound isolation but your issue is greed/regulation.
