Yes! My biggest single complaint about drones is the noise. I also own and fly a drone (for professional photography and video work) but I am LOATHE to fly that thing when anyone else is around. It’s just so dang annoying.

As a drone owner, it drives me bananas when I see people just flying them all over the place with no account for how irritating the noise is.

If drones could be made substantially quieter, everyone’s quality of life would go up and we could be saved from inconsiderate people with no regard for others.

I honestly wish all drone owners were as considerate as you sound.

Unfortunately, anecdotally I'd have to say that the majority are not considerate.

Yeah that’s the dream alright. So many of them are so incredibly inconsiderate that it gives the rest of us a bad name.

I’m legitimately too embarrassed to fly it around anyone because of how incredibly inconsiderate your average hobbyist is. Even though I actually have a reason to fly it (I get paid).
