Are the exhaust notes on the S and non S all that different?

yes, though it's hard to quantify without hearing them back to back
most people think that the non-S 986 has a better exhaust note than the S except in tunnels and garages
personally, I barely hear my exhaust over the air intake

the S sounds a bit deeper.
But I agree with Schwank, the 987's sound nicer at low to medium revs.
Maybe up higher in the rev range the 986's have more schtong, but rumbling around... 987's win in my book.

The 03+ S (and non S) got better sounding exhaust, when I had my 01 986S I swapped the exhaust for an 03 one and it sounded throatier for sure.
