Sound checking your Mini 2 in a Hover test ?

[Phantomrain.org]

You can download the app called Decibel Meter on your iphone , its a free app. Dont get the one called Decibel .

I noticed a 3 DB average sound drop on this last update and a solid Performance with just 8 sats .

This is a easy thing to do when testing your drone for a solid hover position indoors to make sure all systems are a go...

I would like to gather some more data from other users to get a better Average sound Db for the Mini 2

The reading in the Room was 45 Db to start with before starting the drone up and I was about 3 ft away from the drone .

I clocked mine at 68db using a dedicated decibel meter at a distance of 3'. Ambient noise was mild, but forgot to get a reading on it before getting a reading from the drone.

That is with the newest Firmware right ?

Actually I'm still running 1.4.0 as a friend said he noticed some irratic flight behavior after the update.

Just ran a second test in my backyard.

Ambient noise level 35.6db.
Drone hovering eye level at a distance of 3' 20 seconds later was 65.3db.

Thanks for the heads up, I used to have a std decibel meter on one of the old iphones, but now they no longer have this.

I intend very some to a series of props I have for my old M1P, and this will really make the test a little more scientific / definitive, than just recording the drone and 'results to the ear' in a video.

I'll use the 3' range for sound recording as it seems to be the one most are using.

Here in Australia, there are a few decibel meter apps in the apple store, I chose a free one with a full star rating called Dedibel Meter - dB, a yellow icon (Denvex is the developer).

I've always wanted to know how loud other people's mini 2s are. I really feel like my mini 2 got louder after my first crash. Before the crash, i wouldn't hear anything when it was flying by at 300 ft above me. After the crash even at 400 ft it sounds like there are bees flying by. Anyway below are my data, in an attempt to make conditions consistent, readings were taken indoors, 1 min duration, decibel meter left in the same location around 3' away from the mini 2.
Ambient average - 32
Hovering average - 69
Would you mind sharing the compiled data once its ready?
Edited to add that I am running fly version 1.4.3

Have just completed my test video for M1P props comparo, posted in the Mavic Pro section of the forum.

Mavic Pro propeller comparison

Well, I finally did some testing on the 3 Mavic Pro prop sets I have. The M1P OEM 8330, the MPP OEM 8331, and the MAS Stealth. I flew the M1P for about 6 months before going to the Mavic Pro Platinum 8331 props for a bit over 3 years (one set), and for the past 18 months or so the new MAS...

Very interesting, but next time I will definitely get someone to give me a hand doing the recording and note taking !!
What a juggling act it was.
