Yes but right after take off, don't people reduce the rpm just a bit
(to 2500 in the Archer I flew) to reduce noise?

I don't because I personally don't believe in touching power below
1000 feet. However, a lot of aircraft require a power reduction for
sustained climb or noise. For instance in the C-182T you pull power
and fuel flow back to the top of the green, etc. However, I still
don't touch anything below 1000 feet, even coming out of SMO in my
Mooney (where the noise nazi's live)
