A method of reducing noise includes: driving a first propulsor using one or more of the first electrical motor and the first thermal engine, and driving a second propulsor of the second hybrid power plant using one or more of the second electrical motor and the second thermal engine; receiving a signal indicative of an initial combined noise signature; determining, from the signal, that an initial amplitude variation of a periodically fluctuating amplitude of the initial combined noise signature is greater than an amplitude variation threshold; modulating a thrust produced by the second hybrid power plant, by changing a power output of the second thermal engine or the second electrical motor, to produce a modulated combined noise signature having a modulated amplitude variation less than the initial amplitude variation; and compensating for a difference in thrusts generated by the first hybrid power plant and the second hybrid power plant.
