Is there a way to tell between the soft, normal and loud needles by looking at them without using?

The soft tone needles are thin diameter and the loud tone ones are a larger diameter. Medium is somehwere in between.

It's very easy to tell a soft tone needle from a loud tone, but medium tone needles are a little harder since the difference is more subtle.
