Well, for instance, if they could line up the harmonics to create a missing fundamental (eg with the addition of external sounds), they could make propellers present an artificially lower pitch.
- Judgmentality 4y agoYour solution to them being too loud and annoying is to make them louder and hopefully less annoying?
- dr_dshiv 4y agoYes. It’s possible that louder but less annoying is more viable, wouldn’t you say?
- vkou 4y agoI would say the most viable solution is to not subject hundreds of thousands of people to an incredible amount of noise pollution, so that a couple of playboys get to skip a taxi ride to the airport. Private-transport helicopters or equivalents have no place in cities. The gain is in no way worth the cost.

If you placed the cost of air pollution on the bill, they'd be much more expensive. Its not just unreasonable because the person flying gets less utility that is otherwise lost. It is also an unfair form of theft.
