Porch pirates and crotchety old people and anyone who doesn't like to hear screaming propellers outside of their living room window.

There’s some new toroidal propeller designs which actually greatly reduce the loudness and the offensiveness of the noise.

Who knows if they’ll use them tho

I've seen them and they look awesome. I really hope they do use them, because drones are disgustingly noisy.
