AR2 engine sound should be quieter

The sound of the AR2 drone engine should be quieter, especially if you are looking through its camera. While using the drone is fun, having to lower volume gets very annoying.

Electric helis are noisy, I find the AR2 to be too quite compared to my Walkera 43Q and the AR2 will surrely use an even bigger motor.

The internal view could do with reducing the noise or even removing it completely as it isn't really required.

Do the drones even have microphones in real life?

I am sure drone pilots can lower the sound volume. You do not need to hear the drone engine buzzing when you are using the drone to spy on units that a kilometer away from you. So having a very noisy engine sound that you can not mute on the operators end makes no sense.

Drones are actually quite loud and in areas with no sound noise they are easy to spot. While in Afghanistan we routinely requested them to leave because they weren't useful at all. When they can be heard no one is gunna come out with weapons.

That being said I don't know of any drone that has sound capabilities. I'm sure there is some secret technology drone out there that does but for the basic ones in use I don't know how it could hear anything for the reasons stated above.

Yes, the sound of the quad uav is killing me when you control it in 1st person. Please lower it, BI. :)

You should hear your surrodings sounds since you are just using a terminal to access the UAV.
