I'm interested to know what people have done in their aircraft to reduce
the interior noise level?

My airplane is fairly quiet inside. I borrowed a Db meter, and it
registered 82 in cruise IIRC, about the same as my van with the window
open. Mine is a pusher which may help, and it is built of foam and
fiberglass, not metal, which may also help.

We do wear headsets most of the time, but can talk without them if our
ears get tired of being clamped. I have no speaker installed, so can't
hear the radio without them.
