What gives a engine its particular sound,meaning a..type 4 sound compared to lets say a MGB,...or a flat six to a inline 6,as in a triumph TR6...a Ferrari V8,.sound so much diffrant than a American V8,..is it Alum.vs Iron,..overhead cam belt driven vs chain driven,I know exhaust and cams.will make a diffrance to a point,..Carbs vs fuel injected,...valve size's,..??? Just curious on how that engine noise / music is created,..Thanks Frank

V8. Google flat plain crank for Ferrari vs ford.

It's a lot to do with rpm. And component weight/displacement/design characteristics/ design balance - vibration.

High rpm small displacement is higher pitched
I'm fond of small bore flat -6'a above 7500 with open exhaust
