no they're not. Having been subject to Wing drones they are horrible.

A car or truck might be a bit noisy but it's low frequency and typically will drive by once maybe twice a day, and you probably can't hear it more than half a block from your house and only on the road side. if it's delivering next door the truck is making no noise during delivery.

The drones are like giant mosquitoes with direct line of site to all sides of your house. They can be heard from half a mile away and they can deliver constantly. if it's delivering next door it will also deliver it's annoying noise the entire time it's hovering nearby.

At one point I was doing some gardening and had 6 flyovers in 30 minutes directly over my head. 3 out 3 back. extremely invasive, extremely noisy, extremely annoying. And unlike a truck there's really no limit to how many drones you could experience in a day.

Drone delivery is a blight.
