Texas Residents Sue Marathon Digital Over Bitcoin Mine Noise Pollution

Granbury locals claim the noise from the crypto mining facility is causing health issues and disrupting their lives.

The lawsuit, filed by over two dozen residents, alleges that noise from Marathon Digital's Bitcoin mine in Granbury, Texas, is a nuisance causing health problems.
Residents report symptoms such as fatigue, migraines, tinnitus, and hearing loss due to the constant noise and vibrations from the facility.
The plaintiffs, represented by the environmental law firm Earthjustice, are seeking a permanent injunction to reduce noise or halt operations.
Marathon Digital's facility uses a mix of liquid immersion and fans to cool its computing units, contributing to the noise pollution.
The company is considering expanding the facility, which residents oppose due to potential increases in noise and greenhouse gas emissions.
