Why do beer cans and soda cans sound different when opening?

Really though, either I’m an addict or they truly sound different. What is it that creates that unique sound of beer opening vs soda? They are both carbonated and it looks like the cans are the same.

Probably the amount of carbonation. Beer can have carbon dioxide form from fermentation or it can be force carbonated like soda. Soda is force carbonated with high pressure CO2. Beer is usually injected with less CO2 than soda probably because it better mimics the natural carbonation.
