Pre-QT carts from "Carts and Clubs" in Ocala tend to be quieter than pre-QT carts from "The Villages Golf Cart Store" because they packed sound deadening material around the engine. QT carts from either location will be quieter than any pre-QT carts. I am not sure you will sense a difference in sound levels between a pre-QT EFI and a pre-QT carb cart from the same location - the noise level is a function of the exhaust system and sound deadening material in the engine compartment. You will have a larger selection of carts to choose from (and at lower prices) if you go with a carb cart because the youngest EFI will be a 2013. I believe Yamaha continued to make both carb and EFI carts through 2015 (or 2016) but pretty much anything newer will be EFI (including all the QT carts, although their website continues to indicated they still offer carb carts).

I know the EFI should probably do better on fuel and run better in varying weather conditions but just curious if they are also noticeably quieter at all or not much difference?
