Default Formulas for calculating static thrust?

I'm sure there is a resource out there somewhere that corelates thrust, prop pitch, prop diameter, number of blades, rpm, horsepower, and all up weight. Anybody know where to look or where to begin?

Also how does the speed of the prop tips effect noise? Is there a tip speed threshold that keeps things relatively quiet? How does adding blades impact such a speed/noise ratio? Anyone...anyone...Bueller?
