You were probably in a 2-stroke jet outboard, a 4 stroke jet outboard is much more quiet.
The motor doesn't run any faster or make more noise with a jet pump than it does with a prop. Jets are 30% less efficient than a prop, but they don't produce any more noise with an outboard. 5000 rpm at the powerhead is 5000 rpm regardless.
