I'm guessing FreeBSD in which case the culprit is probably the
rc script which enables notice logging by default:

fk at r500 ~ $grep Log /usr/jails/tor-jail/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tor 
command_args="-f ${tor_conf} --PidFile ${tor_pidfile} --RunAsDaemon 1 --DataDirectory ${tor_datadir} --+Log ${tor_loglevel}\ file\ ${tor_logfile}"
