Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018005472A1] Techniques for using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to deliver a payload while generating an expected sound by the UAV during delivery may be provided. For example, during delivery or while in flight, propellers of different sizes that are associated with the UAV may be instructed to modulate at different rotational speeds to thereby generate an expected sound.
