New Records noisy

I am wondering about the new records - mainly Reissuses - I bought.
I think, they are much more noise than a few years before ?
Any experiences ?
When I compare for example the old 180g Classic records, they are super silent and the new yinyl from them is more noisy. I have to clean them much more with a record cleaning machine than before.

And when I buy 2. hand vinyl, the old one, no audiophile, they are silent.
What is going on today ?

"For example my new 4-sided 45 r.p.m. copy of Dave Brubeck's "Time Out" from Classic is noisy on side 1, then dead silent on sides 3-4."
Sounds like a press operator forgot to slap on some mold release prior to pressing?
A sticky record stamper would probably leave all sorts of stuff to make noise.
Yes, the old minimum wage doesn't get what it used to...
