    Though I’m generally familiar with the process of mining, I wasn’t clear how noise could be such a problem. TIL:

    A single mining machine can produce sound levels of 70 to 90 decibels (dB), comparable to a vacuum cleaner or a busy street. When aggregated in large-scale operations, the noise can be heard over long distances and has led to health complaints and legal challenges from nearby residents.
