Default RE: Reducing engine noise

As others have said, look for a quiet prop. This needs to be emphasized; the prop makes at least as much noise as the exhaust. And the noise from both goes up exponentially with RPM. If you use an APC prop in a size that will keep your full throttle rpm down to 9000 or so, you will be amazed at the difference.
