[urq] Why are the L5 Turbo engine sounds different ?

[Ed Torres]

If the displacement is the same and the stroke chambers..volume of air going in are the same and the only difference between them is the 2 valves/cylinder versus 4 valves/cylinders then>
Sounds are different becasue:
Think of a flute (music air instrument), if you have one hole closed versus 2 or 3 closed they will make a different sounds. (the cylinder still the same volume)
same with the 10v one is air in, and one is for air out.  versus the 20v 2 in, 2 out...
 
I like the 10v sound too.
