Prop sync and noise in twins

Slightly out isn't as bad as way out IMO. One of our guys likes to fly with
that wow-wow-wow-wow going on for hours and it drives me nuts when I'm the
passenger. It's all I can do to prevent myself from reaching over and
adjusting the props myself.
Bob Stevens ("There I Was") tells the story of one Bedcheck Charlie
during WW II "who could never sync his props." The irritating noise was
considered even more obnoxious than the bombs he dropped, particularly
since he also never hit anything.
