The irony is so many drone films have serene soundracks. Yes they are very annoying and , just like glue in bolts, ruin the outdoors experience. Drones sacrifice a peacefull reality for a fabrication. I used to abseil with commercial groups and in the last five years its normal to have big noist lithium powered mosquitos hovering above instead of birds. Only a 35+klm westerly can change that then its hardly peaceful anyhow. The only way around it is to venture further from carparks. The last time I was in the proximity of a drone was un the grease cave in nowra thoughi wasnt fussed as it drowned out the noise of people/dogs/toddlers/jetskis and im the noisiest screamer on those types of routes anyhow. Ive never taken issue with paragliders quitely hovering above belays etc....its just the noise that is really invasive , firstworld problems really considering what drones have been up to for the last decade and a half.
