Reply to comment by bal00 in Eli5 why certain internal combustion engines (like those on American muscle cars) make wildly different sounds than most other engines? by Daftworks
Oddly enough not all 4 cylinders fire evenly. There were some Yamaha race bikes that used a 13-24-0-0 firing order. Increased low end torque to assist acceleration out of corners. I wonder what they sounded like.

Yamaha also used a cross-plane crank, so it was basically half a cross-plane V8 and they also sounded somewhat similar.
