Is a MY2004 noisier than a MY2000 ?

I bought a MY2004 and it tends to be noisier than my MY2000. Engine sounds a bit rougher and more audible inside. More importantly there seems to be more of a wheel bearing kind of noise.
To rule out tires I swapped tires between my MY2000 and MY2004 but the difference remained.
Now I have driven a couple more MY 2004 9-5s (looking for a 9-5 for my wife) and it seems to be a consistent noise in MY2004. When I get back in my MY2000 after the test drive I notice the difference everytime noise wise.
They changed a couple of things in the front between 2000 and 2004, subframe rubbers, wheelbearings, engine mounts, dropped some isolation mats.
Does anybody know whether this is typical for MY2004 and what causes it?
Or is my MY2000 just exceptionally quiet?
