Having received several complaints about loud fans at the cryptocurrency mining building owned by Canada-based Atlas Blockchain Group, Electric City is going to use a decibel meter to measure just how loud the fans really are.

Electric City Mayor Diane Kohout said the fans on top of the building, formerly the Young’s Welding building on Coulee Boulevard, are loud and running 24 hours a day. She said people have reported having difficulty sleeping because of them, leading the city to look at their noise ordinance.

Kohout explained that the city’s code enforcement officer will be able to use the decibel meter to measure just how loud the fans are at the building, then 50 feet away, 100 feet away, and so on to get a sense of the actual noise levels.
