Unless cities create laws against loud lawn equipment, the cheaper (louder) option will always be chosen first.
I'm also not even convinced that, all things being equal except noise, that some people would choose the quieter option. After all, people spend $$$ making their vehicles LOUDER, even when it doesn't always add performance.
