Most/all modern tractors have big mufflers to keep the noise down, the
problem is that the cabins are very well insulated to keep noise from the
driveline and towed implements out. No tractor manufacturer is going to sell
a noisy tractor in this day and age. What's that I can't hear you because my
hearing has been damaged by that noisy tractor.

with a few thousand hours in relatively quiet tractors, although old Steiger
tractors have straight exhausts but those days are gone
For those who do not know what a Steiger is:

That's a series 4, the pick of the bunch but had electrical faults
Here is a bit of history about them, I know a bit of topic but interesting
for those who love machines

Crash.
If he would have heard you ....he might have noticed you (I said
'noticed',
not seen!)
Most tractors are plenty loud by themselves, having nearly open
exhausts, and will drown out most other sounds, in my experience. I'm
not sure this is a good example.
