Airboat FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions with Answers
Noise is generally related to prop speed. One way to reduce prop noise is to reduce the spin rate or rpms that the prop turns to provide the needed thrust. This can be done several ways. The lighter weight composite props deliver more power at lower rpm and produce less noise. This has been the key improvement in the last 5 years. Many of the ways to reduce the amount of vibration and noise transmitted to the aluminum hull are proprietary. Some hull coatings will reduce noise.

How can I reduce noise picked up by my sound card?

Answers To Frequently Asked Questions
Using good quality shielded cables and trying the sound card in different slots may help reduce noise. If the sound card has a volume control, you can try different settings (maximum is probably best). Using a mixer program you can make sure that undesired inputs (e.g. microphone) are set to zero gain. Philipp Braunbeck reported that on his ESS-1868 sound card there was a jumper to turn off the built-in amplifier which helped reduce noise when enabled.
