Default 3 or 4 blade props

Hi all,

I am considering getting a multi blade prop for my 160DZ, in an effort to reduce the static noise of the plane (we are at a VERY noise sensitive site and passing a stringent ground noise test is mandatory for me to fly at all!!!!!).

Does anyone have any experiences of these props on this engine, or on any engine for pattern? Any tach readings etc that people can let me have? Do these props, even cut down the noise as seen by a meter or is this a blind alley??

Any thoughts gratefully received!

thanks,

James
