Currently have a 2018 AR190. On plane it runs between 6,000 - 8,000 RPMs (wide open). We love it, but it is pretty loud. I’m wondering are the 21 footers or 24 footers any quieter?

We did some soundproofing on our AR230, which we regularly cruise around 7-8k RPMs. Only had enough to do forward and aft sections of the engine compartment, but can definitely tell it made a difference since we can hear the radio much better in the cockpit while cruising now.
