The growing presence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in urban areas has raised increasing concern about their noise emissions. Although UAVs hold promise for improving urban mobility, the noise generated by their propellers can be disruptive and remains a significant barrier to public acceptance. Previous studies showed that radiated noise in one or more directions of these vehicles can be reduced by synchronizing the phase relationships between multiple rotors on the aircraft. This paper expands the experimental analysis of this concept by focusing on nonstationary acoustic conditions while analyzing attenuation and amplification cases. These conditions include changing the target region location, changing the angular velocity set point, changing the target region location and velocity set point at the same time, and also generating torques. A small hexacopter mounted in an anechoic chamber is used for the experimental evaluation. Results suggest a difference of 12 dB can be achieved when comparing attenuation and amplification cases for the varying target location. Predictions show larger differences when analyzing only tonal components. When generating torques, experimental measurements suggest that even in a worst-case scenario, where motors are grouped into four distinct categories based on similar angular velocity set points, a noise reduction of approximately 3 dB to 4 dB can be achieved.
