An Irish drone delivery company Manna has been getting lots of complaints, apparently its not much fun living beside its base of operations.

Yeah the noise I heard is the biggest hurdle. Not so much them dropping out of the sky, or pets attacking them and getting magled.

I think silent, safe, quick and cheap drone delivery would be really nice, since all kinds of delivery work should be automated, but especially in urban areas there are problems.
