It doesn't mention how much noise does it make. Even though it's electric, drones are usually damn noisy and annoying, and something of this size can't possibly be any better.

This is my main concern as well. The article [1] that perihelions linked to says that the approved vehicle is produced by EHang and the model is called EH216-S. A quick search yielded this Reddit thread [2] which suggests the noise level is 80dB.
