Then perhaps it is simply a matter of the different masses of different lenses, different materials used in the construction of the lenses, or maybe the size (length or diameter, or both) that either damps the shutter vibrations in the camera or, perhaps, causes some resonance effects that modifies the shutter sound.
I don't have an LX to test these thoughts but, maybe you could check one or more of your other camera systems to see if a similar thing happens. I'm sure some of us would be interested in finding out. It's tough to determine the cause without more data.
