Sadly it's because manufacturers deliberately make them loud to make it seem like they're doing their job more. It's the same with many garden tools. Lawnmowers, leaf blowers and hedge trimmers can be made very quiet but they're deliberately made loud to make it feel like they're doing their job more.
