Latemodel Regent loud as all hades

Question:  Is there some reason a 2016-2017 Regent should be so loud when mowing?  I have a neighbor across the street who purchased a new Regent.  Thankfully he has brought balance back to the Simplicity / John Deere wars that surround me.  Anyway, whenever he is cutting I certainly know it's him.  LOUD mower deck.  Now, I realize all decks are loud, but this sounds like there is something wrong.   Anything through the grapevine that tells us this is a problem with these?  Or, is there something probably wrong?

A lot of the newer decks run at higher RPMs. That could be a factor.

Propeller sound, bearing sound, engine sound?

Propeller sound.  Sounds like a farmer's green chopper!  NOISY!

I had a Regent 38"  with a deck and it had 2-20" counter rotating blades, I found out the hard way, and realized what the timing belt was for. Anyway it also so sounded like a chopper.
