Varg EX has different sound to Varg MX. EX howls more and is significantly louder

[JJ2]

I have a Varg MX and an EX. The new EX has a distinctly different engine sound, it howls more and is louder. Especially audible at constant medium and higher revs.
It's definitely not the transmission or other noises.
Gearbox oil change after 3 hours, but still the identical howling sound. My MX is significantly quieter and more pleasant
Has anyone had similar experiences?

Hi JJ

Im in exactly same scenario as you I have one of the first varg mx and I have just taken delivery of my EX and I noticed the same .

Iv done a bit of research and there has been many improvement internally. I wouldn’t be alarmed by it. Iv also noticed a big difference in the regen force - which I really like. Bike feels surprisingly different , In a good way.

Iv just fitted supermoto wheels to mine , absolute animal on the road love it .

I never thought I would have said or written these words, but I also find it too loud and would have preferred an even quieter howl...
Maybe it's on purpose so that the people around you can hear you better.

I haven't owned an MX model, but the EX model is significantly quieter than my Zero FX chain drive set up. The FX on the freeway was painful.
