Residents just outside Granbury say their calm, quiet community has been interrupted by noise from a nearby Bitcoin mining facility. They started noticing a constant, loud hum last fall.

This is where 55-year-old Daniel Lakey and his wife plan to retire. "If you look out here, we just watch the sun go down and just enjoy the outside," said Lakey.Their eight-acre property is in rural Hood County, about 10 miles east of the city of Granbury. The cattle and open land are part of the charm. But a nearby, noisy neighbor has soured their tranquil dream."It's 10 p.m. and I'm sitting next to my truck.

"The sound here at night is so horrendous it broadcasts through my walls and windows."Shadden's property backs up to the facility. Signs on her property show you exactly how she feels about Bitcoin mining. Texas State law does not allow counties to regulate noise pollution, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality can't either. A spokesperson for Marathon Digital says the company categorically rejects the plaintiff's allegations.
