I don't want to sound too cynical, but I seriously believe that the "noise"
caused by the sudden, significant decrease in your bank account involved in
the purchase of one of those M-6J cameras makes the shutter sound different!
:-) At least it will sound different to your ear!
I would bet something that in more than 99% of the cases, those shutters
simply don't make ANY noise at all, being carefully kept inactive.
