Description The number of operations of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), commonly referred to as “drones,” has strongly increased in the past decade and will scale up in the future. Therefore, drones are becoming a growing new source of environmental noise pollution, and annoyance reactions to drone noise are likely to occur in a substantial portion of the communities. Drone noise is likely to be substantially more annoying than road traffic or aircraft noise due to special acoustic characteristics such as pure tones and high-frequency broadband noise. Therefore, the noise emissions of UAVs is likely to be one of the key challenges for the social acceptance of drones and their widespread in urban context.
The expected outcome of the thesis is a systematic review of the state-of-the-art approaches for assessing the impact of drone-generated noise on people. The review should aim at giving an overview on (i) measurement and evaluation practices, (ii) noise impact on humans and subsequent perception/acceptance of drone noise, (iii) highlight current gaps in the literature and inform future trends.
