In tail rotor design, anyone know what is done for noise, besides lower tip speed as indicated in this article on tail rotor design?

the blades are staggered instead of evenly spaced.

The 4 bladed MD 500 tail rotor spun slower and had 2 oem blades offset by about 70degrees instead of 90

but not as much authority as a good old 2 bladed system.  Always a compromise.

On certain Airbus models, the RPM changes through different phases of flight (both main and tail rotor).  There is a diagram in the RFM that shows the decreased RPM in cruise flight reduces noise levels.  When in a hover and a lot of pedal is added, the RPM automatically bumps up, increasing the noise.

Yeah on the Ec130 right? The more power you pull the more tail rotor effectiveness youll get if I recall correctly.
