Drone makers work to reduce noise as deliveries expand

Drone deliveries are becoming more common, with companies such as Amazon expanding their services to nearly 500 US cities and towns, according to BBC Technology.

Residents like Ashley Schmidt in a Dallas suburb report that the buzzing noise of delivery drones disrupts their daily activities and triggers discomfort, BBC reported.

Amazon Prime Air delivers items that fit into a shoe box-sized space and has also launched services near Darlington in northern England, expanding the presence of delivery drones internationally.

Smaller drone delivery services are also emerging in some US cities, offering items like pizza and ice cream, further increasing drone traffic and associated noise.

Amazon is actively working to reduce the noise produced by its drone fleet to address these concerns, as reported by the BBC.

As drone delivery services grow, the search for stealthier, quieter drones continues to be a focus for manufacturers and service providers.
