There is a silent running mode option for the drone in the radial menu, stops it from talking.

I couldnt tell from the patch notes, but does the constant whirring of the drone and the sound from it smacking into walls contribute to your stealth meter? Or stealth increases only when it talks?

The motor/fan blade noises do increase your noise level a little bit, I think between 4 - 6 range depending. The voice lines from it are about 5-6. Initial testing, values may vary of course. Not sure about the smacking noise.

I got a drone for the first time recently. I'm not going to use it. It is kind of annoying and I don't really need it for POIs or Zombies. Being noisy and affecting stealth is just another reason to leave it in the 4x4. Maybe I could carry it and deploy it to help carry end loot back to the 4x4. I suppose if I were doing something like moving my base across the map, the 4x4 full and a drone load of cargo would be handy.

I do wish I could could slap a camera on it and fly it around remotely to look in windows, at rooftops, the surrounding terrain, etc.

This is exactly how I use the drone. Slap 2 inventory mods on it and it carries as much as the motorcycle. The healing and light mods are kind of gimmicky but the inventory space is a game changer since they follow you back to the trader or base and you don’t need to find space for their stuff in your vehicle of choice.
