What Causes the ‘Buzz’ of a Drone?

Drones buzz because their motors are spinning really fast. Inside a drone, there are tiny engines called motors that spin little blades to make the drone fly. When they go super fast, they vibrate the air around them, and that vibration makes a buzzing sound, just like a bee!
