Is the E Max flush louder than the G Max flush?

[newowner]

I am wondering if the 1.28 gpf Eco Drake's E Max flush is louder than the 1.6 gpf Drake's flush? TIA

Pretty much exactly the same. The duration of the flush (by that I mean the time the flush valve stays open) is maybe a half-second shorter on the 1.28, and the duration of the refill is several seconds shorter on the 1.28. Otherwise, it's exactly the same toilet, just with different settings.

It may depend on the room acoustics and whether or not it is a slow close seat and whether you flush with the lid closed or open on a non-soft-close seat. Mine are close in volume but differ in timbre, one sounds bassier (flush with lid closed) and the other sounds tinnier (flushed while soft close seat is closing).
