And this isn’t a hornet at all, but the hornet mimic hoverfly. It does look and sound a bit like a (European) hornet.

For contrast, this is a European hornet. They’re larger, more pronounced and colorful abdomen, red/brown thorax/head/legs, and sound very different when they fly.
It was also very notable that bees and other flying insects tried to chase the Asian hornet away, while they're fine with the European hornets (which makes sense as the Asian hornet preys on bees).
