@mlanger@mastodon.world several places I've worked had backup diesel generators and would test switching power to the generators at least quarterly. They have vibration dampeners but they are loud and can be the size of a train engine. That's my first guess.

@sternecker@infosec.exchange I'm thinking something like that, too. Apparently the data center isn't 100% operational yet and I'm thinking that they are testing equipment. I'm in touch with someone at Microsoft who supposedly answers questions for people in the community about the center. He claims he's going to "reach out" to see if he can find out if anything was turned on yesterday for the first time. But now that he knows what this is about, I suspect they'll just lie.
