What's the loudest GA aeroplane out there?
G'day again all,
Recently been very interested in Cessna 180/185 airframes with the two bladed prop, been mesmerised by how loud these things are!
Anyhow this opened up the question that I cant seem to find: what is the loudest GA aeroplane out there?
Thanks All!

How about the "Paris Jet"?
From the ground one of the noisiest piston jobs that I recall was the Pusher twin Angel.
Silence now reigns because they have all been crashed, 4 of 4. so an extinct species.
Very specific and noisy ‘signature’ and could be heard from tens of miles away, so you knew what was coming.
The one I witnessed crash at YMBA flew into the cornfield like a sailplane on final glide,... which for this a/c it was...silent after a noisy take off, so I reckon both engines had failed. RIP that crew.
Jets are different ...specifically designed to turn Avtur into decibels.
8 EE Lightnings in stream take off, ie 16 Olympus on afterburner, thundered like worlds end, the ground shook, yr body trembled like a leaf and it looked like God pulling a string of beads to heaven. Straight up until out of sight.
Brain boggling !

My nominations would include Queenair or Piaggio 166 (not the Avanti), but as the OP states a 185 with a 2-blade prop definitely gets noticed.
There's a few RV's getting around that are a little over the top noise-wise with their muffler configurations. Not a pretty sound. Would prefer the sound of 3 blades on a Continential in an SR22 or 210.
Queenair...
About an hour after departure I got told by ATC that he thought I must have woke up everyone in Western Sydney when I departed YSBK at 3am on a saturday morning once.

On the ground I suspect the Turbo commander and/or most turbo props with Garrett’s. However they are pretty quiet once they get going.
The QueenAir or the Aero Commander with the GTSIO640’s (I think that’s correct) would have to be right up there. Mind you I haven’t seen one of them flying for a few years now.
