Interest Group Noise_Noise from Drones

November 2024: This report, produced by the Interest Group Noise, provides an overview on the noise from drones. Unmanned aircraft, or 'drones', are an emerging new form of mobility that is expected to develop rapidly. This evolution could lead to a new noise and health problem. The report explores and describes urban air mobility to better inform acousticians and noise experts about new technologies and current developments, investigates the extent to which a future noise and health problem could arise, raises awareness of a potential noise problem, and makes recommendations that could help prevent this future problem.
