Is that those helical rotors? They're supposed to be quite good in many ways, not just the noise.

~~I don't think so. IIRC it was more about the shape of the blade and that there was only one of them on each rotor with a weight built in to balance it out. With one rotor turbulence is negligible while still providing lift.~~

Here's a video about Owl wings.

Incredible stuff! The sound is so buttery. People who understand harmonics and sound engineering amaze me. I'd love to build a quadcopter that sounds like this.

Pretty slick invidious links there too, last time I used that it wasn't a very good experience, glad it's come this far.
