No, they are not.

It's the 'pusher' props that are loud, not the C-R props.

Counter-rotating tractor-type props aren't any louder than same rotation props, many light twins have them; no difference in noise at all.

B-36, Beech Starship, Piaggio Avanti, etc. All pushers; Loud and harsh...

Spacelander electric bicycle
Spacelander electric bicycle ‹ Found by James

Quote:
Benjamin Bowden created ‘Spacelander’, the first electric bicycle, for the “Britain Can Make It” exhibition in 1946. The bike was equipped with a dynamo that stored the downhill energy and released it on uphill runs. Mr. Bowden worked as a designer for the British sports car companies and later helped improve the performance of the Ford Thunderbird, hence the conceptual and visual resemblances. These features made the Spacelander stand out back in the days, but still are relevant today.
