There are a couple of companies that make the mufflers for the letter series that have the original sound, or at least the sound I remember that they had when IH began using the longer pipe on the muffler. These were used beginning in the late 40's I believe. Those mufflers give a higher pitched more "staccato" sound than the usual IH replacement muffler, or other aftermarkets. The H I drove on my dad's farm was loud, my hearing is about 25% of what it used to be because of that and other machinery I have operated. An H will make more noise than a C -- the noise difference between tractors of the same model is mainly due to RPM and the type of muffler it has, and also the condition of the muffler. I doubt if going from 5.5 to 7.5 compression makes much difference.
