    Hi,
    I would not call it normal, but it is indicative of the engine in certain appplications. It is not the engine that causes it, but the muffler attached to it. Many mufflers can be installed to an engine depending on the cost, noise level, application, etc. Of those cost is the usual factor that "wins" based on the total equipment cost.
    Peace,
