watch Benn Jordan’s video on this - it’s much worse than you think
The frequencies do register, all the way to the hearing threshold. Beyond that, extreme lows are measured with vibration sensors and are regulated as well.
Its the regulations that are either lagging behind or drawn for the amount of noise deemed acceptable according to research. Most DCs are built in quiet areas where noise is a novelty and usually annoying.

I know I’m talking to the choir but haven’t you ever missed the soothing sound of a nice turbine engine going off at full tilt outside the window?
No, maybe I don’t mean that wirling noise as a plane approaches the landing strip on idle power. I’m more of a “right behind the jet engine” sort of enthusiast. You know like “HAAAAASSSSHHHWORLWORLHSSSS…” SKULL CRACKLING NOISE MAKER. THAT SOUND. Birds love it, otherwise, why would they be so attracted? Specially so attracted to the front of the engine? Am I right? You’re automatically attracted to it if you get close enough to appreciate the “HAAAAASHHHHWORBLEWORBLE!!!”
You joke, but we have a vacuum pump at work. That thing has become white noise for most of us. Especially after lunch, it’s nap time with that thing on.
Aviation nerd fact #69
Planes don’t approach at idle power (not until the very last moment)
Unless you approach with a very steep angle, the kind that end with a crater on the runway. But it is frightening and rule 1 of piloting an aircraft is “when thingy gets scary, just close your eyes”
