Engine noise - A320 v. B737-800

Hello,

I recently had a flight from Split/Croatia and was seated next to an overwing emergency exit in an A320 (guess an older one, but have no clue about the exact version). Had the impression the there was a huge increase in engine noise a few minutes after take off. Thought about it and am wondering if the following scenario is a reasonable one for this experience:

- High take off power due to short runway
- reduce of power shortly after take off, maybe 250 kts speed limit below 10000 ft or just because of depature procedure
- increase in engine power again because the power set for departure due to the mentioned reason was lower than the setting for climb and cruise

Second question is, if it is possible that there it is generally noisier next to an A320 overwing emergency exit than in the same seat in a B737-800. Was seated there in the Boeing before, but dont remember it being as noisy as it was in the A320 this time.

Thanks for taking the time to answer,

Wish you all a blessed week and happy landings.
