Human Factors
Shortly after departure on the Teterboro Nine departure out of TEB; tower switched us to New York departure. Upon check in; ATC queried our aircraft speed. We responded back with current speed which was around 135 knots. ATC then returned with '135 knots... that slow? Don't ever do that again.'We were slower than normal speed because we were complying with TEB's noise abatement procedure which requires aircraft to maintain V2+10-20 knots. Teterboro is a noise sensitive airport with a three strike rule. If aircraft violate this rule they are banned for a year - which can be very detrimental to a charter operation. What was most concerning about ATC's response was the derogatory nature of the response especially in a critical phase of flight. It's also concerning that an ATC controller is making comments when they may not fully understand the performance of the aircraft. We did not respond to the derogatory comment and continued flight with no other queries.
GLEX Captain reported New York Center made a derogatory comment on their low speed departing TEB even though that speed was necessary for compliance with noise abatement procedures.
