Nah. I think it is apparent if you listen to the notes close enough. F# and C# favor the sound of being sharp, or more striking. While Eb, Ab, and Bb favor a flatter softer sound. Although sharp and soft hardly do justice in describing each notes actually texture, there is a difference. Bb is probably the most neutral because of the audible F# overtone, but to me it still sounds more flat than sharp. It just makes sense to call notes that seem a certain way sharp or flat. Saying Gb and thinking of the sound of Gb seems weird. Maybe it is my imagination although some people I know have similar experiences. Try listening if you are confused.
