The stock muffler makes noise, just not much of it. But even that statement depends on what you are comparing the sound it does make to. But is not without sound...so it makes noise. It doesn't make tone. An aftermarket exhaust is louder, it makes more noise. The pleasantness of noise determines it's tone. Not the volume, and that pleasantness is purely subjective. Noise can be quantitatively measured with a decible meter. Tone can not. I'm guessing the difference between a stock exhaust and an aftermarket exhaust could be measured with a decibel meter and rated in DBs or decibels. Therefore it is a measurement of noise and not of tone. I'm guessing if an aftermarket exhaust were no louder than a stock exhaust, very few would be sold.

Substitute tone or sound in my statement if it makes you feel better. Makes no difference to me. Fact is an aftermarket exhaust is louder (more dbs) so it makes more noise than a stock system whether you like my tone or the sound of that description or not. See what I did there lol

Let's agree to disagree on this subject, Mr. Ferret. These themes can go south at the speed of noise... Oh, wait... there's no such thing. All noises are sounds, or a mix thereof, but not all sounds are noise.

One man's sound is another man's noise.
