No one talks about the noise. Every time I read about drone delivery, this major aspect is omitted from the discussion but I believe it would be a nuisance to have drones droning around all the time making a huge amount of noise.
Airplanes make a lot of noise and it is still a hot topic in neighborhoods adjacent to airports.
Little hobby drones make some noise but when you’ve got a drone lifting 5kg of weight, it’s going to make a tremendous amount of noise.
- Reedx 8y ago~1/3rd of this article is dedicated to noise. :) Trials of the drones had attracted complaints from residents in Bonython, Canberra, who said they were noisy and intrusive. The Bonython Against Drones campaign said the devices could be heard from "a long way off, both coming and leaving". "When they do a delivery drop they hover over the site and it sounds like an extremely loud, squealing vacuum cleaner," the group said on its website. In response, Wing said it had developed a quieter drone. The aviation authority says Wing must use this quieter drone for its commercial service.
- maxxxxx 8y ago"quieter" doesn't mean "quiet". I am very doubtful that they can reduce it to bearable levels.
- mertd 8y ago> No one talks about the noise. That's almost the only thing the article talks about.
- TheMagicHorsey 8y agoI think fixed-wing drones make less noise than the Quadcopter ones.
