in urban environments with a *LOT* of ambient noise -- such as a shopping center near the airport -- one's perception of the relative intensity of the jet's noise is exceedingly subjective ... from a strictly technical standpoint, the jet's Effective Perceived Noise Decibels (EPNdB, the unit of measure for noise) are related to engine thrust and flap setting, both of which can vary for landing depending on aircraft weight

there's no way anyone could authoritatively or consistently say "yes" or "no" to answer OP's question
