Also, the prop will have two or more tips which would change the calculations. A two-bladed prop at 2400 rpm would produce an 80 Hz sound (not even considering the harmonics or the exhaust noise).
I could be all full of it and usually am but I wanted to draw attention to this in case it applies and you hadn't considered it.

Oh gosh, what you say sounds entirely reasonable. I was thinking that the primary problem would be the mechanical vibration due to the prop motion and secondarily, the sound energy. In fact, I had pretty much discounted the sound. But I'll have to re-think it. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
