I live 1.5km away from a busy intl airport and there are jets all day idling their engines, it's not loud, but it is quite constant. Now, I chose to live near the airport because it's a great location and very convenient, but I do smell burning rubber whenever the wind is blowing my way and a plane lands. But at least the flights quiet down to a trickle at night time. Data enters never quiet down. I'd rather an airport 1.5km from me than a data centre. At least the airport benefits me in some way.
