I can't figure out what it is about drones, except maybe because [to me] they sound kinda like a swarm of bees, but when they are flying around our neighborhood I find it very irritating. All the other random sounds, people, cars, whatever, generally don't get to me, but a drone is instantly grating on my nerves.

I doubt anyone will read this followup, but I want to elaborate. After giving it some more thought, I think a large part of my irritation comes with having something hovering above me somewhere, in addition to the sound. It's unnerving.
