It's probably not that much noise. And probably few notice the noise your chain makes over the noise their own chain is making when riding.
So don't dwell on it too much.
If you are comparing the chains while the bike is in a work stand in a quiet room. Well that's a completely unreal situation compared to actually riding the bike on the road. Put on some Led Zeppelin or something and turn the volume up. <grin>
