I'm torn by videos like this.
On the one hand, they're gorgeous and expose many to the graduate of wild nature.
On the other hand, they totally ruin that experience for anyone who went through the expense and trouble to actually be in that natural wilderness.

Imagine you've spent thousands to travel to Iceland, and after days of travel you finally get to the pristine wild you were hoping to find....then HRRRRUUUMMMM....the next few hours are spent listening to the loud noise and scenery ruining of a large drone flitting about, almost following you through the wilderness, ruining the whole experience.

Exactly that happened to my wife and I in Iceland. The assholes went so far as to pass the "do not pass" signs and not only flew around, but set up and stood directly in front of the amazing waterfall we had hiked to see, for hours, even when asked to move.

I think there need to be severe restrictions on drone flying in natural parks and wilderness areas...like 4 days a year when it's allowed and no other times or something. Your beautiful video shouldn't trump the enjoyment of the others who took the trouble to get there, far from civilization.

12'960 @ 43. Which is good because I listened to very loud music in my youth (metal) and went to a tun of concerts in my 20's. These days my left ear is rarely not ringing and my right ear enjoys chiming in quite often to boot . I was a bit worried my result would be quite a bit lower.

I did have to use my PC speakers, my headset is old and failed to output anything over 7k hertz. I only use it for the mic these days though.

Or is it that people who listen to loud music also tend to be exposed to smokers which influences them to smoke as a social interaction. (bars and concerts come to mind)

This brings up an interesting point of science--correlation does not equal causation. Does smoking tobacco cause hearing loss--or, do more people who smoke listen to more loud music than those who do not smoke.
