Probably because much of what we take as shutter noise is actually the diaphragm activation lever and its interaction with the lens and its aperture lever.

I just dug out an OM-2n and an OM-4 (not a Ti) and listened to them with and without a lens (50/1.4 set at f/8). After listening to them a few times I could probably identify them by the sound alone but it's only a different sound, not a louder or softer sound from either.

So, I don't believe one is louder than the other nor would I expect it since the mechanisms are basically the same.

Another factor about the OM-4T is what lens is on it. The sound does change
depending on the lens selection.
