Different engine note between 986 and 996

Is the engine note difference between a 986 and a 996 due to a different muffler or the bigger engine size? I have an 01 2.7L and someone said that the 996 sounds "meaner". I don't know if I would use that word, but it is different. My 986 engine is the same sort of block isn't it? (Otherwise people couldn't swap the engines so readily ("readily is a relative term"). So if I wanted to, could I get the 986 to sound more like a 996?
