    My 5" is quiet compared to my 4".
    The Difference between the 2?
    Both have the same stack
    but the 4" has 4.9x4x3 cut down to 4". and 2205 2500kv motors.
    The 5" has Ethix Limon Lime S4 props and Steele Silk v5 motors.
    The angle of the prop pitch and blade count can change how loud your quad is dramatically if noise is an issue.

    My DJI vistas have all gotten less range on 3.5" quads than larger quads. I've always thought that was because the antenna is that much closer to the RF emitted by the motors. Could that have contributed to the loss of O3 signal?
