If I compare the shutter sound of my M2 to my DS M3 its like "breaking a carrot" vs. "closing a zippo". Its difficult to describe. Are there differences in the shutter mechanism or shoud they sound equally?

Congratulations for adding new vocabulary to Leica's jargon. Some stale carrots do not break, there are a few different sounds of "a closing zippo".
Joke aside, they are completely identical. I still have three M2's and four M3's (SS), I can hardly detect any sound difference above 1/30. BTW, what was the last year they got any CLA?
Why does it matter?
Arcimboldo is asking a specific question about the shutter mechanism. If you can't help him, please consider not posting. Or feel free to ask him with a pm if you really care.
If you are really into why does it matter, please ask this in your own thread in the one of the forums more appropriate for the more cosmic questions.
Arcimboldo, from my limited experience, once cleaned and tuned (by the same tech), I doubt you'd hear much difference. I've picked up a body that a previous tech had ramped up the spring tension to get the speeds in range, and it sounded different. Once adjusted correctly, it sounded like the other body.
Why does it matter?
Well, the question was if the shutter mechanism is different or not. I didn´t want to know if you consider this question more or less important.This is the more important question indeed.
This is the more important question indeed.
