I’m a big Benn Jordan fan but he missed the mark on this one. See this detailed rebuttal. Sniping between the author and Jordan on Blue Sky aside, he makes a lot of good points about how the research does not show negative health impacts related to infrasound.
Please cite some sources that show that infrasound causes/exacerbates dizziness or disorientation (or see my other comments in this thread). There is no conclusive evidence to support negative health effects from infrasound.
The Kapoor article cited many other studies that actually looked at audible sound and noise pollution. It also cited several articles that conclude that evidence of symptoms directly related to infrasound exposure are mostly case studies and anecdotal evidence and that more research is needed. The authors even state in the article itself, “It is still not unambiguously established that low-level exposure to infrasound always leads to adverse consequences at the organ, tissue, cellular and molecular level.”
As for the Zhaohui article, please consider this article that discusses how average infrasound that we are exposed to day to day (even from sources such as regular passenger cars) exceeds the thresholds that are said to induce negative myocardial effects.
Can Infrasound from Wind Turbines Affect Myocardial Contractility? A critical Review
Just because it’s being talked about on youtube does not mean the research backs it up.
Many studies on infrasound are related to wind turbines, which produce a similar level of infrasound to data centers. Consider the following study that found no link between infrasound and negative health effects:
And multiple large scale reviews done by governmental organizations across the world:
Systematic review of the human health effects of wind farms
Understanding the Evidence: Wind Turbine Noise
The Potential Health Impact of Wind Turbines
Infrasound Does Not Explain Symptoms Related to Wind Turbines
Infrasound is generated by both natural sources (ex: severe weather, ocean waves, whales) and man-made sources (ex: data centers, wind turbines, diesel engines). Despite the recent discussion around data centers, infrasound exposure is not new, and has not been shown to cause negative health effects.
Fuck data centers and every negative environmental and societal effect they have (including established issues with audible noise pollution). However, health impacts from infrasound are not one of them.
Please cite sources for this claim? Infrasound has not been shown to have “proven negative impact.” That is fear-mongering on par with “wifi makes people sick.”

I had a cat named Orion who I also adopted as a kitten! He was with me for 14 years and passed away recently. He was so handsome, funny, and just full of love for everyone. Wishing you as many happy years with your Orion as I had with mine ❤️
I have to agree, sadly. I’m a huge fan of Benn Jordan’s work but I read the Masley post last time this topic came up and even looked at the original sources that Benn cites. There really isn’t any credible research out there to show that infrasound has negative health effects. Fuck data centers in general, but yeah, this argument lacks high quality data to support it.
I also see these and agree that they do seem to be AI. Here is an example:
Why did they edit it to give her one brown eye and one blue?
Thank you! Me too, it’s so adorable and ridiculous
He actually put his feet in there in his own, if you’d believe it. He would do that to my slippers now and then when I took them off. I guess warm + stinky = yay haha
Happy to provide :)
