In comparing the Volocopter noise to helicopters it would be something with no main rotor noise and 18 heavily loaded open tail rotors:

My guess would be that the noise wouldn't carry as far due to the higher frequency but would be very loud closer in, again due to the higher frequency.

Interesting, could well be. So not a problem for people on the ground, but you'd want to have a good noise-cancelling headset while on board.
