We may need a few more votes, as a bystander/possibly pillion the induction noise would be lost by the exhaust and both bikes would almost certainly sound the same (if both had the same exhaust system fitted...to be pedantic).
That aside , I agree with what someone above said - go with the bike you want.

The bottom line is that its a V twin and both pointy & curvy will sound like a V twin, not like a triple, IL4 or V4.
That's what my post was about, without going into the various differences between the Pointy & Curvy.
There's a whole host of other factors that can change the sound, end can, K&N filter, desnorkel etc etc, whether its a pointy or a curvy.
Both my curvy's sound different to each other
My post was the base line sound is broadly similar ie V Twin
