Managing Drone Noise in the Built Environment

Drones operations in and around the built environment is an evolving industry. While considerable efforts are being made, via engineering design, to reduce the noise from drones, there are many unknown aspects of the effect of the noise from drone operations in and around communities. Consequently there is a need for an understanding of the effects of the introduction of the new transportation noise source into the Australian community and what methods are appropriate for managing that noise to maintain the health and well being of the community.
