Cessna U206G 1979 - 3 blades - Noise on take off

Hello

I am a happy owner of a Cessna U206G 1979. I buy it with a new engine and new 3 blade Mc Cauley prop.
It seems that I made a huge noise on take off. My prop turns at 2850 with full power on take off then I decrease at 25 / 25 to climb and 23 /23 on cruise.

My question

1) as I decrease at 2500 the noise is totally acceptable can I take off with 2600 without any influence on the capacity and performance ?

2) what do you advise about mixture ?

3) any expert on Skydemon Weigt and balance ?

Thanks

Alain

    Have you checked max rpm in your POH? 2850 sounds way too high. In my Continental, for example, max rpm is 2575.

    I will check. I did not care too much because the engine and prop was new but now I am trying to understand and some friends tells me is to high. I will check
