Narrative:
We were following the noise abatement procedure after departure from dca climbing to 5000 ft. At 3000 ft we were commanded by ATC to 'expedite climb.' later after leveling at 5000 ft, ATC stated that he had earlier commanded us to 'expedite climb to 11000 ft.' none of us 3 pilots remember any clearance but 5000 ft, nor was the altitude alert changed from 5000 ft. It is possible we could be distraction by the noise abatement procedure and path.

Narrative: WE WERE FOLLOWING THE NOISE ABATEMENT PROC AFTER DEP FROM DCA CLBING TO 5000 FT. AT 3000 FT WE WERE COMMANDED BY ATC TO 'EXPEDITE CLB.' LATER AFTER LEVELING AT 5000 FT, ATC STATED THAT HE HAD EARLIER COMMANDED US TO 'EXPEDITE CLB TO 11000 FT.' NONE OF US 3 PLTS REMEMBER ANY CLRNC BUT 5000 FT, NOR WAS THE ALT ALERT CHANGED FROM 5000 FT. IT IS POSSIBLE WE COULD BE DISTR BY THE NOISE ABATEMENT PROC AND PATH.
