There is some correlation but not all of the time.
Overtime I've found these stones in my collection to vary a slight bit from each other and I've been able to put them in order from least fine to finest. I still can't really prove it, as these stones will deliver an edge finer than hell, but this is what I experience in my personal collection. The pitch when struck does have some correlation, but the first one is still the least fine.

A UK razor finisher. I'm quite impressed.

Lapped at 220 grit, shot #4 is stone dry. All other shots are stone wet.
This has a similar feel to a washita. Surprisingly smooth. Harder than I expected. I would recommend using SiC grit like you would washita/arks for the deerlick stones that are heavily dished.

This is a custom hand forged knife by u/Chase1126.
A slice of a stone I used to own, in the handle and the saya. I cannot express just how awesome this knife is.

HM8 was $15. Feels like a dream

Not a bad selection of stone

My favorites that I've kept over the months. Mostly vintage Pike/Norton era stones besides the black Arkansas.

Not sure of grading but I'm assuming it to be No.1 Washita. Stone has a very nice useable face. Hard fine variety.

They sure loved using those words.

An oil soaked Pike end label. Only Lily Whites came with end labels. This is a very homogeneous, even gritted stone with two good faces.
