Could be interesting with the Low noise prop as the new mavic, anybody knows if they are coming?

Is the spark really that loud?

I dont think so, but more silent wouldn´t be that bad. :-)

Hi, sir. I have no idea about it. If they have plan on releasing this kind of props, we would let you know. Thanks for attention.

When you talk "noise" you have to see it in a greater perspective. Here are some good comparison videos. The Spark surly is not quiet but at a higher frequency - that's why it's more audible than the Mavic.

The spark is like a swarm of bees. In sport like a very angry swarm of bees!
I would love to have -4db proba on it!

It would be nice if they could ad some more minutes of flight time as well ;-)

Spark is loud in sport. Noise reduction would be good and the design gives a little extra lift if i am correct.

Yes, there are very low noise props for our Spark. Unfortunately, they are from Parrot Anafi Parrot made props like fly has. So, buy Spark props, buy Anafi's props, change ,,wings,, like in YT video for Mavic Air. Another thing , 25 minutes fly time for  only 320 grams Anafi vs 16 minutes Spark's time. Anafi has a fly, insect, wings looking props, and learning from nature, but DJI has that sharp design look. Make compromis with design and efficiency; noise level, fly time, less RPM...I'm  big fan of my Spark, nice looking pease of very sophisticated item and wanted to buy only DJI product, but can not believe somebody made almost 2 times longer flight time drone and 2 times lower noise level. Or, it just have to be that way for some reason... corect me if I'm wrong

The spark is pretty quiet, but I'm ASD: quieter is always better.

Spark is noisy,,, quieter props would most welcome,,,

What? You are saying that you can install Anafi props on a spark???

There is video on YT how to put anafi's props on spark's holder and put it on Mavic Air. For Spark, you have to cut it a little  to be shorten.

Can you please provide the link, I couldn’t find it on YouTube

Thanks and fly safe

It gets a lot of attention sometimes, especially if you are below 30m, it is quite noticeable. great threed

I used to desire for a lower noise propeller when I just gotten my Spark. Now I just live with it.

If there is a lower noise propeller available, I will go for it. My dream comes true finally.

Otherwise, I just enjoy whatever I have now, at least the propellers can tell me that my Spark is on the way back

My guess is, even if DJI is making effort on a more low noise propeller, it would be for the next generation of Spark, or another new drone.

"Otherwise, I just enjoy whatever I have now, at least the propellers can tell me that my Spark is on the way back "

hehe Did that the other day. Set it to RTH and listened. ZZZZZ Oh, THERE it is. I've decided it's not a machine for going far away.

I really hope they do, it would be a nice accessory to have, plus any additional flight time would be welcome. People always know I'm flying the Spark, my Mavic 2 Zoom barely draws any attention at all. Its quite a bit quieter. There are so many benefits to be had with a prop that has noise reduction properties, why is this even still a question? DJI are you listening? There's money to be made here with very little engineering input on the physical and digital ends.....

Thanks, maybe I’ll give it a go
Although I’m probably just gonna destroy some props

Fly safely

Anafy's 1,99$ props arrived. Waiting for 2,19$ Spark's

Sometimes I can hear my spark before I can see it. I try not to fly around people anyway so noise doesn't bother me and maybe because I am hard of hearing too LOL

They could probably get a significant efficiency bump from getting rid of that folding hub and blending the blade roots into a smooth solid hub like the phantom has...
