I looked and found this 3.5 years later. Didn't even know that hoverboards even existed until now.

I also would like to know the noise...! Whether or not this device creates sound when traveling. And this could also important for vibration and impact on the legs and the body.

I wish the sources had some information about his altitude. He looked really high up in some photos.
