The UPS truck comes to your street once a day. Maybe you get 3 delivery trucks total.
A drone could be in your neighborhood every hour all afternoon. There is someone near me who flies theirs at night, i can hear it much farther away than any delivery truck

That is not a general fact. UPS visits our street probably closer to 5 times per day. Then there’s FedEx, USPS, and Prime all also visiting multiple times per day. Thankfully they are not as loud as the landscape care outfits that run the gas powered blowers n’ mowers.

For deliveries it could have wings and only be loud during vertical landings.

That UPS truck rumble will be long gone in a few years as Ford, Mercedes and Rivian roll out their electric trucks and vans.

They are definitely audible (clearly) at 500 feet.
A drone, at least, can stay at an inaudible (say, 500ft) altitude for most of it's trip.
