Amazon Drone Delivery Noise Prompts Nampa Residents to Consider Relocation
Residents in Nampa, Idaho, are reporting significant disruptions due to noise from Amazon Prime Air delivery drones, with some considering moving from their homes. The drone activity, which began on October 30, has led to complaints about incessant buzzing that can be heard even inside houses with windows and doors closed. One resident stated that the constant noise interferes with her ability to work from home. Another mentioned that her mother, who has mobility issues, can no longer enjoy their backyard sanctuary due to the drones. Amazon's drone delivery service is currently available in select areas like Phoenix, Tampa, and Omaha, and the company plans to expand to nearly 500 U.S. towns and cities by the end of 2026. Amazon states that its electric drones produce no exhaust emissions and are part of its commitment to achieve 'net-zero' carbon by 2040.
