There is no reason that fuel injection would be quieter than carburetors. It is simply a different device to deliver fuel to the cylinder.
Now, that said I've often wondered why small engines such as lawn mowers can't have bigger or better mufflers. An example most home size generators sound like a lawn mower, but the Honda generators are so quiet that you can hardly hear them running.
