The Amazon Great Oak data center complex in Prince William County, Virginia, represents the most thoroughly documented noise response case in U.S. data center history. It is not a success story without complications — and that honest complexity is precisely what makes it credible. Amazon faced legitimate noise complaints, acknowledged them publicly, escalated its engineering response when initial measures were insufficient, and ultimately achieved a sustained measured average of 62 dBA — confirmed by a resident monitoring the results in the field. The case documents what a responsible operator’s noise response looks like, step by documented step.
