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 ?

It is a problem, Thomas. In my experience, new reissue vinyl from Analog Productions, Speakers Corner, Cisco, and a few other continues to be consistently "super silent". OTOH, Classic Records has had quality control problems consistently since moving to their new 200gr formulation. Some of their 200gr issues have been dead silent here, some have not, and many others have reported disappointing results. 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. Overall, I like the sound of the 200gr issues, but I don't like the variability.
