The sound produced by Unmanned Aerial Systems (known as UAS or Drones) is often considered to be one of the main barriers (alongside privacy and safety concerns) preventing the widespread use of these vehicles in environments where they may be in close proximity to the general public. ...To better understand the potential environmental noise impact of commercial UAS operations, work undertaken by the University of Salford has focused on two key areas. Firstly, how to characterise and measure the sound produced by UAS during outdoor flight conditions and secondly, better understanding of the dose response of UAS noise when the listener is in either an indoor or outdoor environment. ...Firstly, how to characterise and measure the sound produced by UAS during outdoor flight conditions and secondly, better understanding of the dose response of UAS noise when the listener is in either an indoor or outdoor environment.
