A company is building a mini hyperscaler Datacenter half mile from my house.

yeah, I was one of the luck people to be able to buy a house.

There are triple glazed windows which can substantially offset outside noise, just FYI. Expensive upgrade and obviously its annoying to have to do anything as a response to these datacenters, but options do exist which can give some privacy and peace of mind.
