Supposedly the XTZ 1000 machines have new technology to quiet the engine noise. Has anyone here compared the noise of the XTZ to the 700 XTX? Is there a significant difference?

Don't know about the 700 but it is a hell of a lot quieter than my old 650.

Is the noise reduction from the motor or insulation around the motor? Does moving the air intake to the front make that much of a difference?

The air intake is not in the front. It is where it has always been. It does have a more sealed cockpit with the addition of a divider right behind the seats. It keeps dust and noise down by sealing the cab off from the bed and underside area..........................
