The invention discloses a system for reducing ambient noise generated from an acoustic domain, comprising a landing pad comprising a plurality of zones of varied porosity levels over specified sections, and a plurality of perforated channels across the plurality of zones of varied porosity levels, the perforated channels comprising a plurality of aqueous sheets placed at an inlet of the perforated channels and along the perforated channels. Also disclosed is a method of reducing ambient acoustic noise produced by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations, the method comprising the steps of absorbing acoustic energy produced by the UAV via a plurality of zones of varied porosity levels, present in a UAV landing pad, resulting in reducing sound-pressure transmission-loss of propeller downwash across the plurality of zones of varied porosity.
