Noise is a design choice and could likely be legislated away. Reject heat is different than heating from greenhouse gas effects that are “heating the planet”.

No one bats an eye when an air conditioner runs.

Data centres aren’t loud it’s the gas power generating stations next to them that are loud.

I find their noise pretty obnoxious. Out of respect for my neighbours, when I get around to installing one, I'll be getting the absolute quietest model available.
