Why do 3 cylinder engines sound good?

the volume compression is more in 3 cylinder than 4 cylinder. this is because to meet more power generation to meet 4 cylinder engine power generation. during this more blast sound will generate inside the cylinder due to more compression volume and that is to at a time two cylinder. so more noise.

Why do 4 cylinders Sound bad?

Because the engine has to spin faster, it is louder. Because four cylinder engines are less powerful and have less torque than sixes, they generally have to be run harder (at higher throttle). This makes them louder. Because of this, less attention may be given to NVH in four cylinder cars.
