Default engine noise

Hey guys, on my 200 it seems to have pretty loud engine noise, i notice all of the ktms 2 strokes ive seen on youtube have it. i was just seeing why KTM's have such loud engine noises, its been like that since i bought it new, just wondering why they do that and what makes it.. thanks!

Does the noise get worse or better with the clutch lever held in?
