I have no idea how loud these things are but I suspect that they would be less noisy than a typical UPS/Fedex truck.

- NeedMoreTea 7y agoIf I'm in range of an EV drone, it's very likely I'm in range of an EV truck. The truck doesn't have to hover. So I would suspect the opposite - perhaps even compared to an idling diesel truck - because drone props tend to sit right in the really irritating whining spot of the spectrum.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoI can sleep with an idling Diesel engine quite close, even in the vehicle. Don’t reckon I could sleep with a drone hovering above my house.
- novok 7y agoA drone whine is high(er) pitched, so it doesn't go through closed windows and doors nearly as much, and the noise is a relatively short range and not supersonic like a helicopter rotor. Diesel truck rumble is low pitched and pretty much goes through everything, closed or not.
- OnlineGladiator 7y agoAnd the human perception of higher pitched noises is that they're much more noticeable and much more obnoxious. And when the kid across the street is flying his drone, I can hear it in my living room through my double-paned window. I'd much rather hear the FedEx truck idling than that fucking thing whizzing around - and it's hundreds of feet away!
