Interesting question - how quiet could a drone get? Presume they are not optimised for sound...?

- sarreph 10y agoWe just need to pop an anti-gravity engine on the bottom instead of using air-propulsion. Then, to reduce the visual pollution, we just cloak them with an invisibility shield. It's really that simple. I'm sure Amazon already has this on their roadmap.
- durkie 10y agoI imagine these amazon drones are at least quieter than most consumer drones just based on their larger propellers. This is operating on the assumption that a larger propeller can spin slower to generate the same amount of thrust as a smaller propeller spinning faster, which might not be 100% accurate. Motor noise in general seems like it's kind of an overlooked issue though.
