A drone includes a motor, a noise receiver, a camera, a distance measurer, and a directed sound beam generator. The noise receiver is configured to detect a noise caused by the motor. The camera is configured to capture an image of an area when the drone is in the air. The distance measurer is configured to measure a distance between the drone and a particular point in the captured image. The directed sound beam generator is configured to emit a sound beam that is directed to a particular direction. The drone further includes a processor configured to analyze the detected noise to determine a frequency spectrum of the detected noise. The processor is further configured to analyze the captured image to identify a target, and cause the directed sound beam generator to emit a sound beam to actively cancel at least a portion of the noise directed to the target.
