After Break-In Period

Has anyone noticed that the engine seems a bit louder after the break-in period? It could be just me?

Yeah, i noticed that too on my new TL-S. After 2000 miles now, it seems much louder than before... but to me, it sounds like it's faster.

I noticed that too after break-in period. My dealer gave me a
TL-P last time as a loaner and that was very quite compares to my TL-S. But.... that car just couldn't run like the type S.

It runs louder than I would prefer, but I'm reminded that it's still pretty quiet every time I fire up the Tahoe... nothing like a V8 starting up.
