Why does a VW flat-four sound so different from an inline-four? Don't they both get a power-stroke (spark plug fires) every 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation? The air-cooled flat-four also has some kind of "whistling" sound to it that's very unique. Just curious.

Two of my neighbors have Miatas and they have a terrible exhaust note. I much prefer the sound of the flat-four. Here's a page from Road & Track where they briefly talk about the 2.0's sound.
