Question Aircraft Silencers

I own an aerobatic aeroplane which is allegedly noisey. In my view aircraft like motorbikes and sports cars should be noisey, but this is not a view shared by the locals and more importantly the bloke who owns the airfield. He has "suggested" fitting a silencer to it. I understand West London Aeroclub are marketing such a devise, but it has not been certified for an AEIO360.

Does anyone out there have any experince or comments about fitting the thing to an AEIO360.

Do they actually work or is most of the noise from aircraft doing aeros from the prop. If so would a plastic MT type prop. make any appreciable diffference to the volume. I am happy to fit one of these but not some unapproved box of tricks which may or may not damage my engine!

If you don't want aircraft noise, don't live near and airfield!
