Since we now appear to be delving beyond the world of simulation, it is worth saying that unless you badly cock-up the speed handling on the approach, it should be possible to get the Baron's prop levers fully forward in the final stages of the approach without so much as a peep out of the engines. Perhaps our expert friend has forgotten what happens to VP props at low power settings.
