I’ve been using my Mavic air for a month now and except for the terrible range and bad battery life with the new update, the only downside of this is that the sound of the drone is very annoying. Even when it’s aroind 100m up, it still sounds like an annoying bee. Every time I fly it, I get a lot of attention which I don’t like :p So I was hoping if DJI could release a set of quiet propellers for the MavicAir like they did to the original MavicPro.

Please DJI, if you’re reading this take this into consideration

Sounds like you would want more than quieter props.   I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with quieter props somewhere in the future but who knows.

If there are quieter props for Mavic Air on its way, it will probably be on the same way as when DJI launched Mavic Pro PLATINUM.

Sounds like you don’t like your drone, looks like you already have a spark, I have one also and there is very little difference in the sound they both admit, believe me 99.9% of people think Mavic Pro is loud when flying close to them, until we see electric drone you will always have noise, would you like a Porsche to sound like a golf cart.

Rural Ireland, very little traffic, maybe a tractor every now and then, the odd cow mooing it's as quiet as a mouse, and I still can't hear my/her air at 100m and when it does get close, seriously it's nothing more than a whine.

+1 to quiet props.
I can hear my mavic air at 100 meters too. I have both MA and MP.
In close distancies I prefer MA sound but in large distancies MP sound less.

I'm not pulling your leg here but right after I wrapped my Mavic Air (I bought the wrap from Wrap Grade) it got a little bit quieter. Not sure why!

I can hear it even above 100 m, but really I don't care. If they at Dji issues quieter props,  I probably would buy,  but I can live with these props hopefully without crash....

I don't care about your wrap, but that is my favorite user name to date.

Hi there,
here is an interesting Thread in a German Forum: Anafi Props on a Mavic Air = silent Air ?

This is a troll contribution. The user from Münster has been trolling the forum for months and is currently running a lawsuit against him because of his many problems with dozens of accounts. Therefore, I strongly advise against using the propellers of the Anafi on the Mavic Air. Probably it will not work and if it does, it should not achieve the desired effect. On the contrary, the danger would be very high that it comes to problems.

So many judgmental comments. Are you all trolls? Just answer the question for the guy if you have one. Spare the judgements. Everyone is different, ye? They do not have to be you. Idiots.

Some people on this forum whine more than the MA propellers do.

Purpose of this forum is to discuss matters and give suggestions to DJI to serve us better. If you don't have a problem why don't you just mind your own business and enjoy your flight?

Maybe because I want to ensure that DJI understand that not all their customers are whiny little biatches?

Not sure if it’s directed towards me but this was once an actual concern for me. Anyways I sold my Mavic Air and bought a Mavic 2. And I’m happy with everything now xD

Wow! Sounds like you're the one who should be minding their own business, given that you don't even own a MA. But hey, feel free to hang around our forum, as long as you behave yourself.

What people seem to be missing is that props are just one component in a complex flight system. To say you want quieter props is not really understanding that.

Well uploaded the original post in may 2018. See the date for yourself. And I sold my Mavic Air 2 weeks back. This was my original post and replying to my original post when someones making fun of it is indeed my business.

Quieter props are less efficient. Since most people aren't happy with the flight time already, killing a couple of minutes for quieter props will not make anyone happy.
