it generally is because of the amount of cylinders of the engine, the more cylinders, the more detonations in every revolution. this causes the sound waves generated to be closer together creating the smoother purr sound, versus for example, a harley v twin that has two cylinders which fire further apart, creating the putt putt, or what's commonly called the po-ta-to sound.
