Which? A speeder? They have very small turbines tucked under their rear 
ends, those would make some racket. And antigravity in the starwars 
universe always seems to make at least a droning noise...

As for the podracers, they'd be deafening at close range. I once 
experienced Concorde's engines from fifty yards and that was just 
ridiculous.
