  "account": "Tamara Hancock, a 48-year-old college professor and content creator living in one of the first pilot areas for Amazon's drone delivery service, has ordered from Prime Air over a dozen times. She finds the 35-second noise the drones make to be worth the convenience, novelty, and fun. Hancock enjoys the novelty and uses the service for items like reeds for her daughter's clarinet, which she thought would be perfect for drone delivery. The package arrived intact, and she appreciated the convenience of having it delivered instead of making a trip to the music store. She estimates that she will continue using Amazon drone delivery as long as the price difference is worth it, such as when purchasing items like reeds or pipe cleaners. Hancock also notes that while there are concerns about drones colliding with construction cranes, the shut-down of drone delivery was for 48 hours in that instance, and she believes the noise from drones is no more disruptive than other sounds in her area.",
