Any planes remotely quiet?
....and don't say "a glider".
Quiet, in terms of how loud it is inside the cockpit. 1. Is there such a thing as a quiet single engine plane? Quiet enough to not need hearing protection? More quiet than other models, relatively speaking? 2. Is there really ANY GA plane that is? 3. Are multi-engines any better, or worse? Granted, if you have headsets on, it doesn't really matter. -- Chris Hoffmann Student Pilot @ UES 20 hrs |

Pressurized cabins are notably quieter. In my P210 there is no need for my wife and kids to wear headphones to talk to each other in the back seats, even in non-pressurized mode. -- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com |

The Piaggio Avanti is pretty quiet inside.

Along that same line of thinking... Good door seals make a big difference in cabin noise level and temperature control, pressurized or unpressurized. |
