Would the low compression turbo rotors that Paul is using have anything to
due with the reduced sound level?

After hearing the plane last fall, I can tell you that both the sound
level & 'tone quality' are a refreshing departure from typical rotary
sound. If Paul finds that he's making adequate power with reasonable
fuel economy, he will deserve credit for an amazing 'find'.
