Some residents in the town of Granbury, Texas, sued the cryptocurrency mining company Marathon Digital, claiming that the noise and vibration from its BTC mining facilities seriously disrupted their daily lives, causing health problems and declining property values.
Odaily Planet Daily News According to reports, more than twenty residents of Granbury, Texas, have filed a lawsuit against the cryptocurrency mining company Marathon Digital, claiming that the noise from Marathon's BTC mining facilities in the area is a "nuisance" and has caused "extreme discomfort and annoyance" to the residents near the mine.
The plaintiff pointed out that due to the "continuous" noise and vibration of the Marathon Mining Farm, some residents have suffered "sensory, emotional, psychological, and health effects." Some locals have experienced fatigue, headaches, memory problems, hearing loss, migraines, and tinnitus. The organization also stated that some residents' pre-existing health conditions, such as high blood pressure, have worsened.
The lawsuit states, “Even within their own homes, (residents) can hear the noise of MARA Cryptomine and feel its vibration.” It goes on to say that Marathon's Mining Farm “severely interfered with the plaintiffs' private use and enjoyment of their property.”
The organization also stated that the energy usage of BTCMining operations has led to "increased electricity costs and decreased property value". (Cointelegraph)
