Abstract:
Techniques for calculating a sound received at a plurality of distances from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be provided. For example, during delivery, the UAV may be associated with a sensor to obtain first sound information that corresponds to the sound generated by the UAV. A sensor associated with a landing marker may obtain second sound information about the sound generated by the UAV during flight and delivery of a payload to a location associated with the landing marker. In embodiments, the first sound information and the second sound information may be utilized to calculate sound metrics for the sound generated by the UAV and determine the sound received at a plurality of distances from the UAV during flight.
