Do they provide a reason why microlights are discouraged/banned over other GA traffic?

Is it possible that some microlights are equipped with 2 stroke engines and I assume they may be noisier than other aircraft and may exceed noise abatement guidelines for certain fields. Not saying this is the case just asking a question

I know in some US states 2 stroke jet skis are banned on certain lakes where 4 strokes are acceptable, granted this was partly due to the increased oil a 2 stroke throws out but I believe noise was a factor also.
