Not often, but I don't enjoy it when it happens; they're very loud. "Less loud than a helicopter" isn't much consolation. Noise pollution will definitely need to be taken into consideration before people start taking mini-choppers in place of Uber/Lyft.

It doesn't really make sense to call it a case of NIMBY because noise pollution is a real issue. This isn't a matter of them looking ugly; we do have to be able to sleep. If it's significantly louder than a train, that might be a bit too much.
