The UK Civil Aviation Authority published a report titled Managing Noise from Emerging Aviation Technology (CAP3304) that examines noise from drones and eVTOL aircraft, noting they can produce different noise patterns than conventional aviation.
The report finds drones and eVTOLs are generally quieter than conventional helicopters but may operate at lower altitudes closer to homes, and it recommends priorities such as quieter aircraft design, proportionate noise assessment, appropriate route and operating procedures, transparent community engagement, accessible complaints arrangements and systematic collection of operational and noise data.
