Default Quiet Line not so Quiet?

Now that I have my first QL running good (my 1650) and never having had any experience with the QLs, I'm thinking it's really no "quieter" than my 108 or 149. In fact, there is more sheet metal rattling than the other two. I think it's the muffler shroud (and I have all the screws in it) and the hood latch. The hood on the QL doesn't latch like the other two tractors.

What, if anything, are you guys doing to reduce the noise from these? There seems to be more high frequency noise than the others, which mostly just have exhaust noise, not so much sheet metal rattling noise. Or is it just that this is a 16 hp vs the 10 or 12 in the other two?
