Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are on the cusp of a revolution in the transportation sector, driven by the significant progression in electric powertrains, and robotics and autonomous systems. Drone operations have significantly grown in recent years and are expected to exponentially grow in the future. If this scenario materialises, drones will become an important source of environmental noise pollution. As a result, and due to their special acoustic characteristics (e.g., tonal noise and high-frequency broadband noise), annoyance reactions to drone noise are likely to occur. Environmental noise and the associated noise annoyance have already been identified as one of the main limiting factors for the wider adoption of drone technologies.
After the successful Special Issue “Drone Noise: A New Public Health Challenge”, this Special Issue seeks research papers on several key topics of drone noise. We encourage the submission of manuscripts that focus on, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Drone noise at the source, including vehicle classification and certification;
- Drone noise measurement, including procedures and metrics;
- Novel approaches for drone noise modelling, including noise mapping and auralisation;
- Management of drone noise, including operating procedures and noise annoyance;
- Effects of drone noise on human health and well-being;
- Effects of drone noise on wildlife.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Acoustics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
