16v sounds

[major b]

When ya accelerate in say 3rd/4th gear, how does ya engine sound?

Just wondering if they all sound the same and whether mine sounds like its supposed to.

Imagination.

Eg, my cars usually very qiet, bu ive noticed that at a certain rev in 3rd/4th it sounds very low n growly just like a Scooby, then it bombs like a loon, the sound seems to scare other drivers a bit and they look like they didnt expect it from a plain looking Clio. It really sounds like a different car, nearest thing i can think of is a Subaru. Thats what i mean, do yours sound like this too?
