Can you tell the difference between a backbox on a diesel and a petrol?

hard to explain but more a deep noise, not quite the same a petorl noise. there is also a 206 diesel near me with a 4" pipe on and his sounds like a tractor, tho i dont know what cc engine it is or if it has decat etc. tho other diesels with backboxs i have seen dont all sound like tractors lol
