A method of reducing noise generated by a tilt-rotor aircraft includes transitioning the tilt-rotor aircraft into an airplane mode from a helicopter mode, and reducing a speed of a first pair of fans of the tilt-rotor aircraft to be less than a speed of a second pair of fans that are positioned in-line with the first pair of fans. A flight control system configured to reduce a noise level of a tilt-rotor aircraft includes a flight control computer comprising a processor, a propulsion system communicatively coupled to the flight control computer, a first pair of fans and a second pair of fans communicatively coupled with the flight control computer and the propulsion system. The processor is operable to implement a method that includes transitioning the tilt-rotor aircraft into an airplane mode from a helicopter mode, and reducing a speed of the first pair of fans to be less than a speed of the second pair of fans that are positioned in-line with the first pair of fans.
