If different bypass capacitors lead to different sounds, then this will necessarily correlate with different levels of audio signal appearing across them. I take it this is not being disputed?
My definition of a "competent design" was one where the bypass capacitor was chosen so that the audio signal developed across it is negligible. There will then, more or less by definition of "negligible," be no audible difference between one such choice and another. If a given choice of capacitor fails to achieve the goal, then I would not call that a competent choice, since it will lead to some colouration of the sound.
