The way to get a quiet Trislander is to shut down the two wing engines. It can be done if the aircraft is light, and I believe several of my colleagues in a previous incarnation did just that, since we had frequent empty sectors. I never had the courage myself; there is no generator on the rear engine, and my luck would ensure the battery wouldn't be up to a restart.
