It's normal for the sound to be different. Most strops have a slight grain which runs just like your whiskers. When you are stropping with the grain it makes a different sound than when going against the grain. In addition to that there's the doppler effect so unless you are standing directly in the middle of the strop it will sound different going away than it does coming towards you.
