What makes the same size motor made by the same manufacturer sound different when in a truck than it does in a car?

It could partially be different exhausts, but it is more likely the overall dynamics of the vehicle and the difference in sound insulation.

Sound is vibration, and a truck frame carries that vibration differently than a car. Additionally, a car has different sound-dampening characteristics because car drivers typically put a higher premium on having a quiet interior.

Trucks are set up for pulling power, they move things and stuff while cars are usually built for speed and don't necessarily have much torque. The same size motor can be configured to do either jobs but there are other differences in them.

different parts. The trucks have a different cam in them, different exhaust. Trucks have to be set up to tow or haul things so they need to be a little heavier duty to stand the load.
