Aircraft cabin noise and engine vibration are monitored at selected cabin and engine locations (51a/51b), respectively. An optimizing equation uses aircraft cabin noise information to separately determine for each engine a balance solution (60) that minimizes aircraft cabin noise at the selected cabin locations over the engine RPM range of interest. Next, the balance solutions are used to predict the engine vibration levels (63) that will be produced if the balanced solution is implemented. Then a test (65) is made to determine if the predicted engine vibration levels are acceptable, i.e., below a predetermined level. If acceptable, the balance solutions are used to select balance weights suitable for the engines being balanced (66) and the result displayed (67) for implementation by engine maintenance personnel. If the predicted vibration level is unacceptable, a new balance solution is determined for each engine (68) using the optimizing equation constrained by the allowable vibration level.
