阿肯色州比特币设施噪音污染引发担忧

Bono, Arkansas - The serenity of rural living has been shattered for residents of Bono, Arkansas, since the establishment of a nearby bitcoin mining facility last May. The facility, known as Northern Bitcoin, houses an array of 17,000 computer fans, generating an incessant hum that has become a source of unceasing torment for the community.

阿肯色州波诺 - 自去年五月附近建立比特币采矿设施以来，阿肯色州波诺居民的宁静乡村生活被打破了。该设施被称为“北方比特币”，拥有 17,000 名电脑迷，发出持续不断的嗡嗡声，成为社区不断折磨的根源。

Gladys Anderson, who bought her dream home in Bono seven years ago, now endures the relentless noise that she describes as "military-grade torture." The constant drone has significantly diminished the peace and quiet she sought when moving to the country.

格拉迪斯·安德森 (Gladys Anderson) 七年前在波诺 (Bono) 买下了自己的梦想之家，如今她忍受着无情的噪音，她将其描述为“军事级别的折磨”。持续不断的嗡嗡声极大地削弱了她搬到乡下时所寻求的平静与安宁。

Shane Markuson, another affected resident, frequently measures decibel levels at his property. His readings consistently exceed recommended noise limits, particularly during nighttime hours.

另一位受影响的居民肖恩·马库森 (Shane Markuson) 经常测量他家的分贝水平。他的读数始终超过建议的噪音限制，尤其是在夜间。

The noise pollution is attributed to the high-powered fans used to cool the vast array of computers that mine bitcoin, a cryptocurrency that has surged in popularity and value in recent years.

噪音污染归因于用于冷却大量比特币挖矿计算机的大功率风扇，比特币是一种近年来人气和价值飙升的加密货币。

The influx of bitcoin mining facilities in Arkansas has raised concerns about potential health effects on nearby residents. Prolonged exposure to excessive noise has been linked to a range of adverse health conditions, including sleep deprivation, cardiovascular issues, and cognitive impairment.

阿肯色州比特币挖矿设施的涌入引发了人们对附近居民健康潜在影响的担忧。长期暴露在过度噪音中与一系列不利的健康状况有关，包括睡眠不足、心血管问题和认知障碍。

Ben Smith, an Arkansas-based bitcoin miner, acknowledges the noise concerns but stresses that not all bitcoin mining plants generate excessive noise. He argues that well-designed and insulated facilities, located away from residential areas, can operate quietly and minimize disruption to neighbors.

总部位于阿肯色州的比特币矿工本·史密斯（Ben Smith）承认存在噪音问题，但强调并非所有比特币采矿厂都会产生过多的噪音。他认为，设计良好且隔热的设施位于远离居民区的地方，可以安静地运行，并最大限度地减少对邻居的干扰。

Smith estimates that approximately half of the bitcoin mining facilities in Arkansas prioritize noise mitigation and good neighborly relations. However, he also acknowledges the existence of "bad actors" who fail to invest in noise reduction measures or choose to locate their facilities near residential areas.

史密斯估计，阿肯色州大约一半的比特币挖矿设施优先考虑减少噪音和睦邻关系。不过，他也承认存在“不良行为者”，他们没有投资降噪措施或选择将设施建在居民区附近。

The unmitigated noise pollution from the Northern Bitcoin facility has prompted residents to seek legal recourse. They are exploring potential nuisance lawsuits and are urging local and state officials to enact stricter noise regulations.

北部比特币设施未得到缓解的噪音污染促使居民寻求法律追索。他们正在探讨潜在的滋扰诉讼，并敦促地方和州官员制定更严格的噪音法规。

The conflict highlights the need for responsible siting of bitcoin mining facilities and the importance of balancing technological advancements with the well-being of communities. As the industry continues to grow, it is essential to prioritize noise mitigation and ensure that the benefits of bitcoin mining do not come at the expense of the health and tranquility of nearby residents.

这场冲突凸显了比特币采矿设施负责任选址的必要性以及平衡技术进步与社区福祉的重要性。随着该行业的不断发展，必须优先考虑减轻噪音，并确保比特币挖矿的好处不会以牺牲附近居民的健康和安宁为代价。
