I have a memory from years back of being told that the reason the Spitfire had such a distinctive sound was that the propellor tips _were_ supersonic. Maybe it was just heresay.
I don't know about the Spitfire, but I understand that's the case with many floatplanes -- you can usually tell when a plane flying overhead is a floatplane without looking up.
All the best,
David
