It sounds pretty noisy to me in that video, even with the music partially covering it.
It’s hard to say if it’s noisier than a car, but I wouldn’t say it’s quiet at all.
- hawkice 9y agoBeing within ~10x the noise of a car is pretty quiet, considering they'll be up in the air most of the time. Unless the video is really misleading about noise, this won't be an insane nuisance.
- smoyer 9y agoIt's definitely going to be noisier than a car because of the propeller noise. Small aircraft don't generally have mufflers on their engines, so a gasoline powered aircraft will have both propeller noise and engine noise that are greater than that of a modern automobile (imagine your car without a muffler or even much of an exhaust pipe - no, not you Tesla owners).
- davidcbc 9y agoThe video specifically mentions that they are fully electric. It isn't a gasoline powered aircraft.
- smoyer 9y agoYes ... my point was that it was going to be quieter than a gasoline powered airplane and noisier than a car. As an aside, I suspect the "buzzing" noise made by the propellers was attenuated in the video post production.
