What we really need is 0-100 property Owner controlled 100-400 Hobby non-commercial -400 the FAA does not need to be involved at all 400+ Commercial and this is where the FAA comes in and provides regulations for Commercial UAV and Manned Aircraft to operate in this Commercial Zone leave us Hobbyist alone.

If a flying drone was as quiet as a flying bird, I would have no problem with them flying around the city where I live. That is not the case, so anywhere not next to a busy road and the drone noise is going to be easily heard and annoying to many people. Over your own property or places where you have permission, fine. Over public or someones else's property, no thank you. Maybe we could let quite drones (not sure of the dB at ground level that would be acceptable) fly over cities and that would push the development of quieter flying systems.

  Why does the FAA need to get involved with any of the stuff you mentioned? Not everything needs to be a Federal matter.

  Why is the sound of a drone of such great concern to you? Cars and motorbikes are louder. Jetskis. Scenic flights and helicopters are louder. Leafblowers and many other power tools too. What makes this new sound so objectionable that this is your reaction? I'm curious.

    On closer reading FAA shouldn't not be involved and the issues I have can be dealt with at more appropriate levels of government.

  Last a checked noise pollution was a local ordinance issue, my city has all kinds of regulations around noise. Also last I checked no drone I have ever seen is louder than my Lawn Mower, Weed Eater, Snow Blower, Trimmer, leaf Blower, Table Saw, Chop Saw, Metal Grinder, or 100 other pieces of equipment I have that is perfectly legal to use on my property

    You are right. The FAA is not a good place to regulate low level drone flights.
