Audio noise created by trim valves (66a-72a) in a warm air trim system (24) of an air cycle air conditioning system (10) is reduced by controlling the pressure drop across the trim valves as a function of the position of the valves (66a-72a). A proportional valve (112) typically under the control of an electronic controller (116) is controlled to set the pressure drop across the trim valves. Reducing the pressure drop across the trim valves, reduces the noise created by air flowing through the trim valves thereby reducing noise in an aircraft cabin.
