A Dodge Viper and a Lexus LFA both use a V10 engine, but a Dodge Viper has a very “deep” sound, but a Lexus LFA has a very high pitched whining sound?
What makes a car like a muscle car like a Mustang or Viper have such a different sound than a car like a Lamborghini or Ferrari when they use the same kinds of engines?
In: Engineering
Engine works by making lots of booms. Engine sound comes mainly from pattern of booms. Those two engines are shaped slightly differently and make booms in different patterns QED.
*Booms spaced evenly make a “smooth” higher pitched sound while uneven booms make a rougher, deeper tone. Think Ferrari V8 vs Mustang V8 for another example.
