2. Data Center: A facility constructed and operated that is engaged in storage, management, <br />processing, and transmission of digital data, including facilities used for cryptocurrency <br />mining, which houses networked computer systems along with supporting equipment <br />such as batteries, back-up power generators, HVAC and cooling systems. <br />3. Decibel (0): A unit for measuring the volume of a sound, equal to twenty (20) times to <br />the base 10 (10) of the ratio of the pressure of the sound measured to the referenced <br />pressure, which is twenty (20) micropascals (twenty (20) micronewtons per square <br />meter.) <br />4. Mechanical Equipment: The networked computer systems along with supporting <br />equipment such as batteries, backup generators, and cooling systems housed on the Data <br />Center's property. <br />5. Noise Attenuation: The reduction of noise levels through the use of sound -absorbing <br />material, architectural design techniques, and/or any other suitable means. <br />6. Noise Disturbance is any sound which: <br />a. Endangers or injures the safety or health of humans or animals; or <br />b. Annoys or disturbs a reasonable person of normal sensitivities; or <br />c. Endangers or injures person or real property. <br />7. Person: An individual, association, partnership, or corporation, including any officer, <br />employee, department, or agency. <br />8. Property Line: An imaginary line along the ground surface, and its vertical extension, <br />which separates the real property owned by one person from that owned by another <br />person, but not including intra-building real property divisions. <br />9. Sound: An oscillation in pressure, particle displacement, particle velocity or other <br />physical parameter, in a medium with internal forces that causes compression and <br />rarefaction of that medium. The description of sound may include any characteristic of <br />such sound, including duration, intensity and frequency. <br />10. Sound Level: The weighted sound pressure level obtained by the use of s sound level <br />meter and frequency weighting network, such as A, B, or C as specified in American <br />National Standards Institute specifications for sound level meters (ANSI SI.4-1971, or <br />the latest approved revision thereof). If the frequency weighting employed is not <br />indicated, the A -weighting shall apply. <br />11. Sound Level Meter: An instrument which includes a microphone, an amplifier, RMS <br />detector, integrator or time averager, output meter, and weighting networks used to <br />measure sound pressure levels. <br />ARTICLE 3: Noise Attenuation Requirements <br />Before a Data Center has commenced construction or operating within this jurisdiction, the <br />property owner and operator proposing to build a Data Center shall comply with the following: <br />1.
