its the noise loud exhaust makes when at a cruising rpm. it is undesirable to most.

Drone is the tuba-like sound an exhaust system makes at lower rpms. Particularly, large throttle inputs at lower rpms amplifies the problem. Nearly all aftermarket exhausts have this to some degree.

hahaha i guess that helps. but i drive daily and i dont hear this "drone". maybe im just used to it.... so does the berk 3in single or the invidia q300 single have drone? or is it just all exhaust like what deepbluejh said. what about a custom straight pipe?
