Not an expert, but I'd expect it to be less loud than a helicopter (because no turbine engine). But how often do helicopters land near your house? Sounds more

But how often do helicopters land near your house? Sounds more like a case of NIMBY.
- zenexer 7y agoNot often, but I don't enjoy it when it happens; they're very loud. "Less loud than a helicopter" isn't much consolation. Noise pollution will definitely need to be taken into consideration before people start taking mini-choppers in place of Uber/Lyft. It doesn't really make sense to call it a case of NIMBY because noise pollution is a real issue. This isn't a matter of them looking ugly; we do have to be able to sleep. If it's significantly louder than a train, that might be a bit too much.
- newshorts 7y agoGrowing up on a street where the neighbors landed a helicopter at their house a few times per month I can tell you it’s extremely disruptive. As a kid you think it’s fun, I’m sure my dad was annoyed when he was trying to hear the tv though.
