New injector injection pressure for a non-turbo OM61x/60x Mercedes diesels is 115-125 bar (1667-1812 psi) and 135-145 bar (1957-2102 psi) for turbos. The noise you hear from a diesel engine is the sound of combustion. It can be made VERY quiet if the interior of the prechamber is very very precise. As it accumulates residue or if the injection spray pattern and pressure isn't precise, the noise increases. The properties of the fuel also contribute to noise. Using noise as a tool to measure the condition of a diesel is foolish. A perfect Cummins or Ford diesel makes one heck of a lot of racket at idle while a Mercedes diesel shouldn't, but it takes only a tiny flaw (a little soot in the prechamber, a little nozzle coking or some air or water in the fuel) to make the Mercedes sound as bad as the Cummins or Ford.
