There's a difference. It's sort of a hollow slapping sound. This is
caused by air being incorporated into the mix. Oddly enough, mayo
doesn't really hold a lot of air. This is a good thing, otherwise the
manufacturers would be trying to stuff as much air into mayo as they could.

I've noticed that coffee mugs will make a sound that rises in pitch as
you stir powdered creamer or sugar into it. One can hear it when the
spoon taps into the sides. A neat effect and probably easy to hear if
you play a musical instrument.
