But I'm not willing to cut mine off at chance for a little silence, Let me know how that turns out though. Plus the noise only last a few seconds so how annoying can it really get?

I'm pretty sure it's the motors that make the sound. There's no speaker or anything like that. It's just the 3-phase power going in to them at different frequencies.

Hold one of your motors when you connect the power and you will feel them vibrate.

I have one taken apart but I haven't listened to the motors, But I have no reason to doubt you on this, That would explain though why it wouldn't make a tone unless I had one hooked up! I'd just thought because there wasn't a complete connection. But any way I guess there would be no way to change the tune oh well..rilot said:The ESCs send signals to the motors which vibrate. Brushless motors work on 3-phase power and it's pretty easy to make them vibrate at any frequency. The Naza tells the ESCs what to do.
The same tune is played no matter what ESCs and what motors you have. My F550 makes the same tune with Naza and so does my scratch built quad that has Naza but Maytech ESCs and T-Motor motors. It's not the Naza itself that makes the sound though.

I have a lot of ideas to make the Phantom better I just have no idea how to work with electronics as you can tell. Where or who can you give your Ideas to to make them happen? I'm still wanting to see some kind of sensor added to each corner of the Phantom to detect a close object and stop in hoover or maneuver around it, you know like them sensors that the robotic vacuums have. Who would be able to make that idea happen? That's what I want to knowPhantomFan said:phantomflyer said:I would like to get mine to do the bar tones on Close encounters of the third kind and have the bright wight LED's I have blink to the tone, I've been wanting to do it in flight on command! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmA0iXDB1xI
THAT is an awesome idea! I love it. If you ever figure out a way to do it, you GOTTA share! :lol:
