Someone would come back at you agreeing absolutely that there's a night-and-day difference in the sound but pointing out that the measurement system can't be the explanation for it. What you've 'obviously' missed, and what can 'easily' explain it, is the
real difference between the metric and imperial thread forms in all of the systems' screws. Schoolboy error
