>Same goes for Harley Davidsons vs regular motorbikes.

With Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the V-Twin cylinders are 45° apart. With most other V-Twin makes the cylinders are 90° apart. The cylinders fire at slightly different times relative to the other cylinder and produces a different sound.

And, of course, a V-Twin will sound different than other engine configurations like an inline four or a triple.

An example from the US is the Anasazi, a long gone people in the Southwest. When the Navajo came down from (what is now) Canada in the 1400s and 1500s, they referred to the people that already lived there as "ancient enemy" or "anasazi" in the Navajo language. The descendants of the Anasazi, the modern-day pueblo peoples, prefer to call them "Ancestral Puebloan".

I was so clever because I saw through their shenanigans and recognized the box of Tide my mom used.
