Got a new drone prototype, and its motors keep making a noise that could give us away. Any tips on dampening that sound without compromising performance?

Just keep it simple. Tighten the mounting screws, then put a thin rubber gasket or a few layers of silicone between motor and frame—silicone takes the vibration without dragging the motor down. Use a low‑noise brushless unit if you can; most cheap ones are the loudest. Add a light sheet of acoustic foam around the motor housings to catch the sound, but keep it thin so you don’t add weight. If the RPM is too high, bring it down a notch; the motor can still hit the same top speed but with less whining. No fancy tricks, just good isolation and the right motor.

That’s solid. I’ll tighten the screws and run the silicone test. If the noise drops below 35 dB, we’re good. Keep an eye on the motor temperature—no overclocking under pressure. Ready to roll.

Sounds like a plan. Tight screws, silicone, keep temp in check, no overclocking. Just make sure the battery can handle the load, and we’re good to go. Let's see that 35 dB level drop.

Will monitor battery usage and keep the load within safe limits. After the adjustments, I’ll run the decibel test and confirm the drop. Stay sharp, keep the ops quiet.

Alright, keep an eye on that temp readout. If it spikes, cut the power. Once you hit 35 dB, give me a heads‑up. Stay tight, stay quiet.

Got it, will monitor the temp and cut power if it spikes. Once the noise is below 35 dB I’ll ping you. Stay tight, stay quiet.
