Yeh my memory is foggy but the Ukrainians called the Iranian drones vespas or lawnmowers or something along those lines due to the small motor sound.

Definitely an eeriness to the buzz.

Possibly a Trembita, then. Probably using a valveless design rather than the fragile valve system on the original V1. Even cheaper than the already cheap and simple Schmidt-Argus valved pulsejet.
