My brothers Baron is parked at Marina, CA, I wonder if that's his in the video. I have seen Joby test fly out there many times and it is truly a different sound. Until they flew manned last month, there would be a chase Cirrus 22 or R-44, and that's all you would hear. Now that it's doing manned flights, you can hear it, but it doesn't really draw attention. I have seen Archer as well out of Salinas in their smaller prototype. Seemed a little louder.
I will say, Joby appears to be well ahead of Archer Midnight. (unfortunately my airline put its money on the later)
