The expression "droning on" is used to describe someone who is boring and talking incessantly about a topic nobody really wants to hear. The expression compares their utterances to the sound of a propeller aircraft engine heard from a distance - a "drone".

What does drone mean in music terms?

A drone is sustained, unchanging, note. The most likely place we hear a drone is on the bagpipes which have two or three drone pies as well as a chanter to play melodies. The drone is also heard in most Asian music, particularly in Indian music, where the drone is achieved sometimes by the addition of sympathetic strings to a string instrument; these strings are sounded by vibrating in tune with notes played on the main strings.
