DJI Neo Drone Flight Video Reveals High-Pitched Propeller Noise
A new video of the upcoming DJI Neo drone in flight has been shared by drone enthusiast Jasper Ellens on X, revealing some interesting details about its noise levels and performance.
Noise Levels and Comparison
The video showcases the DJI Neo’s flight characteristics, with a particular focus on its propeller noise. According to Ellens, the propeller noise is measured at around 78 dB right next to the drone. This is quieter than the Avata 2, which reportedly produces 82 dB in the same test conditions.
However, the Neo’s noise has a higher pitch, which seems to be a point of contention among drone enthusiasts. As Ellens notes, “It’s quieter but the pitch higher. Can’t wait to launch this bird!”
Community Reactions
The video has sparked a range of reactions from the drone community.
Myles Fitzpatrick commented, “That’s actually really poor noise levels for its realistic use-case. Starting to get turned off by this little drone now – no 4k 50fps, no SD slot, noise levels barely lower than that of its beefier brother.”
On the other hand, Ron Brown pointed out, “It does have a high pitch, not unexpected on a drone this size.”
Technical Considerations
The high-pitched noise is due to the drone’s small size and propeller design.
As Dad Random explains, “The noise factor will always be an issue with a motor spinning at high rpm. It’s acceptable trade off.”
DroneXL’s Take
De DJI Neo’s noise characteristics highlight the ongoing challenge of balancing performance with noise reduction in compact drone designs. This development aligns with the broader trend of advancing drone technology to meet diverse user needs.
Recent articles on DroneXL have discussed innovations in drone propulsion systems and noise reduction techniques. The DJI Neo’s approach to this challenge will likely influence future drone designs, especially in the compact and portable segment.
What are your thoughts on the DJI Neo’s noise levels? Does the higher pitch concern you, or do you think it’s a reasonable trade-off for a smaller drone? Share your opinions in the comments section below.

High pitched noise indoors will not be appreciated
Well, i thought it well be good for indoor but with that noise 🥲
This is a deal breaker for me and i suspect alot of other people. This noise would irritate and alert any people within 30ft, and with very few places to fly or practice using drones, noise like this is unwelcome.
Noise level would drop off quickly once you create some distance. But yeah doesn’t sound great when close by it seems.
