Survey! What do you think of drone sounds during overflight?

Welcome to the CAELUS sound demonstration survey. 

You will listen to recordings of a drone completing operations at different distances from you, to help us gain insight into how people perceive and respond to the sound of drones. This is so that the risks of noise disturbance can be assessed and reduced.

Follow the instructions in the short video below to set up your listening environment. Please use the best quality headphones available to you.

Please watch the short video below to learn more about our Overflight Sound Demonstrations. After you have finished the video, please move to the next page to start the demonstrations.

For each of the demonstrations you will be asked the following three questions:

Audibility

How audible is the sound of the drone within the existing sound environment?

Characteristics

How much does the sound of the drone change the character of the existing sound environment? The character of a sound environment includes whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, eventful or uneventful, calm or chaotic, and monotonous or vibrant.

Annoyance

To what extent are you personally bothered, annoyed or disturbed by the sound of the drone?
