Whats that sound with Volume set to off?

I have two turntables, Using the same cartridge and tracking force with volume off, I can really hear the music from the record while the other turntable the cartridge is relatively silent. Why?

It was just interesting how much of a difference there was. It sure does not sound like a good thing. i was wondering if my grooves were getting destroyed lol.

The 1200G is the quiet one.
