head porting and sound

How much does the sound of the engine change with head porting?

It's not the porting, but the bumpstick under the lifters.

Well if the cylinder pressure varies, the sound will change...

I know alot of customers tell me how loud their stuff is after head swaps, even with the same camshaft.
