Duncan,
In the C172 I once owned, I made the vents much quieter by stuffing some
steel wool into the duct. Steel is a misnomer because it was actually
the plastic stuff.
Best regards
Kingsley

Whilst grateful for the general quietness of the Europa, inside and
out, the cabin NACA vents and associated 'eyeball' contribute
substantially to cabin noise.
If during flight the vent is temporarily blocked with ,say, a finger,
the reduction in overall noise (possibly including some external engine
noise coming through the vent) is noticeable. Same thing can be
experienced on an airliner.
Does anyone have any advice as to how these vents can be quietened?
