Toyota invests $394m in Joby Aviation's flying tax...
The people with the money for these have the political power to force others to deal with the noise. Already, helicopters have remarkably few restrictions. If you can afford one, you can fly it almost anywhere you want.

I really don't see a pattern of any sort of large scale noise pollution via helicopter forced on people to think it will somehow be sure a thing.

It’s not large scale because it’s super expensive. You don’t have a problem with helicopter noise because they are almost no helicopters.

Helicopters are so expensive to own and operate that the number of people that are even in the running to cause noise is low to begin with.

Exactly, people with that much money can lobby against any noise restrictions.
