Attack Of The Drones’ Exploration Of The Sound Power Levels Emitted And The Impact Drone’s Could Have Upon Rural Areas

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

This study considers the acoustic emission from a DJi Phantom 4 commercial drone using different rotor blades. Measurements were taken from a hovering drone with four commercial product blade configurations. Measurements were taken in accordance with (BS) EN ISO 3745: 2009 ‘Acoustics – Determination of sound power levels and sound energy levels of noise sources using sound pres-sure – Precision methods for anechoic rooms and hemi-anechoic rooms’. The aim of the project was to consider the sound characteristics emitted, specifically tonality and to determine the dis-tance a drone could be heard from, with the different blade configurations, in a rural setting. By considering the different blade configurations within a rural setting, the role drones have within society is considered.
